Very interesting shot and composition. It is not altogether beautiful or subjectively interesting...but it is visually interesting and artistically abstract. Without the title, it might be hard to determine what the viewer is looking at, which adds to the abstract nature of the shot.
Nice composition,David! Your image leaves a strong positive impact on the mind!
See my version of Lake Patterns under the Title "Patterns" in Exhibition Gallery. I hope you do not mind for my picking up the word "Patterns" from your "Lake Patterns".
Very nice interpretation of the theme. THough the image is suffering form the dynamic range. It is more like an abstract than a hint of the lake. I think the less PP image with some mild colors would have been more effective. Neverthless this is a great entry and highly creative.
