Raspberry Ripple

Just looking for a reaction. Thanks.

Oh, I like this one, my admirations!

congratulation (belle poesie)

Really beautiful and wonderfully done.

wonderful work

Delightful colors - so impressionistic. Can't wait for colors like this to come this spring here in Chicago. Lovely image.

A suitable title for this very pleasing abstract. I love the all the hues, the pastel appearance, the impressionism created by the ripples and nature herself. I wish the dark branch wasn't there but realize it was something out of your control and that we sometimes have to take things as nature serves them up. Definitely a wall hanger. I tried for a 6/7 but the site prevented it.

Looks like a Monet, and I'd hang it on my wall in a heartbeat! About that branch... I like it, in fact I think it provides an anchor for the eye to hold onto and to return to from excursions into the beautiful colors and reflections all around. Lovely shot!

Jim, it was actually a conscious decision to include the branch. I felt it provided a focal point and a sense of movement. But your objection to it is accepted. It wouldn't do if we all had the same taste. As for the rating, it's not a big deal. I value the comments more.

 

Thankyou to all you who have responded.

The subtle changes in color and texture are wonderful, Hanna.

Nicely captured! Like a Monet painterly effect! I really enjoy drifting through this.......Thank you! DG

Hanna, I re-thought my comment about the branch after reading David Seltzer's comment and agree. It taught me something.

Very beautiful.

Love this shot. The black outline seems to confine it. I messed with it a little.

Not manipulated! I'm impressed, Hanna. I thought sure you used a "Monet filter" or some such.

Gordon, thanks for your trouble. You're right, it's better, but I've never got around to figuring out those shadow frames.

 

Lannie, nature is the best Monet. I find the trick with reflections like this is to focus manually to find the best effect.

Just a really compelling and magical image. Love it! Agree that frame 2 is more complimentary.

 

Superb image. Regards.
