This is an awesome image. I wonder whether you used a polarizer or whether you had exceptional lighting conditions b/c there is absolutely no glare. This capture really works. Love the design you have created.

Very nicely done abstract. Would have worked better in B&W? TFS.

The image has a very interesting abstract quality to it, Milan, and good sharpness throughout. Well done.

I agree...you really hit every corner with clarity and a good DOF. It really is one of the most interesting natural abstracts I've seen in quite awhile.

I would think you could have gone with ISO 400 and jumped that shutter speed up a bit but considering you used a tripod I would imagine it wasn't that big of a deal. Did you also use a cable release or do a mirror lock up? Those are also two ways to help reduce camera shake on slow ss like 1/30th.

I would also encourage you to convert this to a black and white image and see what you think of it.

Thank you all for nice comments.
Yes, I forgot to add, cable release help me here.
Julie, I try it in b&w but I prefere colour version (as in most cases:))

All the best!
