    Reflections of a colorful apartment building on a pond on one of my walks downtown with a friend. Flipped vertically and a little Nik Viveza.

    Wow! This is terrific. There is a nice range of colors, and I really like how you treated them. The ripples in the reflections add a tremendous amount to the image, and having the reflection inverted makes it that much better. Nice job seeing the potential and processing it the way you did.

    Thanks, Dennis. I had watched this building going up for over a year and loved the colors. I recently walked there from downtown to see what I could do with it. I had originally envisioned abstract squares of the building itself but when I got there I was much more taken by the reflection. I'll go back and explore it again

    I like it a lot! Not sure why. Simplicity. Colors. Composition. It has the charm of a child's painting.

    Ditto the above comments; nice color palette and interesting shapes! It looks like a painting.

    Super, I love it! What a great rendition of a wet paint look, and the colors are terrific. Good eye!

    Fantastic...design, colors, the watery texture! I like the hint of the tree in the middle with the horizontal strip of grass all along the bottom. Then those super interesting other elements with the repeating vertical lines, but fabulous colors to mix it up! That coral color is especially striking. I could see this BIG and hanging in a lovely hotel lobby. Again, I am taken with your ability to see and create images where I'm sure I would simply walk by.
