Gradient Waves

[Julie Kenward]

I spent the weekend culling, keywording, and organizing the entire year's images. I spent the afternoon head first in a pile of photos with the words "abstract" and "water" and "reflection" stuck to them. Out of the half dozen or so that I finished working on this one was a real labor of love. I used Nik's Color Efex bi-colored filter, about a half dozen actions and a bunch of burning and dodging to come up with this one. I do believe it's going to end up on this year's calendar. :D

Beautiful and serene Julie, this would look great printed on canvas and stretched on a frame. Great shades of yellow.

Beautiful Jules, I like the soft color palette and the bi-color filter used. The shade of yellow at the lower middle is gorgeous. Will it be April?

Julie - this is so serene! I'd love to see it as a big canvas:)

[Patti Edens]

Love the colors in the gradient and the gentle waves.

[Julie Kenward]

Thanks everyone...I'm really happy with it, too. Yes, Denise, it does look like April, doesn't it?!

Hi ladies, I like it too! Looks very calm and yummy, like I would like to jump into it... Pretty!
