Water and Steel II

I was immediately attracted to the colors and textures of this image,

as well as the contrast of natural and man-made. I'm also very

interested in color photographs which might loosely be termed

abstract, since the lines, colors, and textures are more important

than the actual "thing" represented. I'd appreciate any comments,

ratings, suggestions. Thanks.

In my mind, this qualifies as abstract so you've succeeded. I like the colors.

Great colours, nice diagonals...

The nice thing about this "abstract" picture is that there are still some small parts of it that are not really abstract, like the grass and the reflection of the trees.

The liquid trees are a perfect contrast to the metal culvert. Good eye, striking photo!

let me guess, you are not a big fan of modern (20th century) art, in particular abstract art... your picture shows reflections of the trees in the water, it's as non-abstract as Dutch paitings of the 16th century. Otherwise, it's very nice, but if you want to see "abstract" check out some late paintings of Miro.

find the white slightly distracting but aside from that really love this - the definition and detail on the right really draws me in.

different and nice composition.. I like it!!

Good eye! Good color balance.

The little bit of grass distracts from what you were probably trying to capture. Nice tho... :)

I just love doing abstracts of water. Nice work!

Good play of opposing lines with the drain and tree reflections which to some extent pull me into the image but I don't find myself drawn to itj - perhaps distracted by the interruptions caused by the grass and pebbles - could you have gotten in a little closer to make a more stark image?... I think that would have vastly improved it - great contrast and detail.

Very nice shot, composition,texture,colors,it's like an abstract painting.
