Hey Mark, Interesting colors and shapes. I'm thinking a bit more shadow relief to help with the details of the stream. What do you think?

[Paul Lagasi]

Interesting image Mark, .....only way to tell its a stream is the title, maybe just a little more detail, as suggested above. As always lovely framing and colors...Where you been?

[Cheryl Slechta]

Mark, I think it's nice as an abstract and agree with the above comments on a little more detail. The framing is really nice and I like the colors and pano crop.

Mark, nice composition and I agree with the comments above. I think getting a bit of shadow relief would certainly help the stream. As always, your framing is beautiful

Mark, Nice to see you back. I like the framing and the image has a warm glow. Neat abstract.

Hi Mark, an interesting abstract. I agree on a bit more shadow detail too.

This is the original image, as shot in JPEG. For your info.

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Here is a revised offering with a little more open shadow area. You can see from the original above that the BG was dark, on purpose in this case.

I do feel that this is leaving the theme more, that is why I kept the shadow area less detailed. I like them both, but...

I like the first post.

Thanks Denise, glad you agree!
