i've spent some time thinking about this one. i love the colors and textures in this one. probably my favorite of the series!! and the bubble, if that is what it is, is really cool!!!!! the dark strip underneath bothers me though. almost like i wished the camera was more above and shooting down on the ripple so that the ripple covered all the edges of the frame. or would that take away from the composition? it also seems to need some CW rotation, but as much as i played with it, i couldnt make it better!!!
just my thoughts. dont shoot me here. i may just be seeing another shot in this one!!
