Is that done without any photoshop correction. If yes, this is a winner.

This is how the tranny looks. Some PS was used to correct the scan.

This is beautiful, great use of color here. Color often becomes interesting in very monochromatic situations, and there I love that hint of red among all the blue. You've also achieved a good balance between the descriptive and the abstract. Makes me want to touch the water! Very well done.

This is so cool! It DOES look like blue metal! I like that thin line along the left side.

This is my third time back to this image, Graeme. And now I have fingerprints on my screen from touching the water. Could you e-mail me some Windex, please?

Love it.

Graeme, Allways a fan of your, but I think you could do better with this. While the texture of the water is way cool, I think the image is lacking a bit. I tried cropping the rock on the left, but that didnt help much. I think it just needs a good focal point.

Darin,

Thanks for taking the time to think about how to improve the image. I appreciate i very much.

You've pointed out "missing a focal point" as an issue with this image. Having made the same comments about many photos I've seen (and taken ...) I understand what you mean, but for me, the focal point is the texture of the water's surface. Personally, I find it hard to concentrate on any other part of the image for long before I'm drawn back to the criss-crossing standing waves running up the centre of the image.

Cheers,

Works for me. It has lines drawing the eye through the image, and feels nicely balanced. Love it.
