    Waiting for Spring. Reflections in blue.

    What do you think about it?

    Very beautiful colors and abstracted image. Somehow it reminds me of a pueblo mirage. . . Just my impressions. I think some cropping could be done but that's purely a personal preference to take this into the realm of a total abstract. I understand why you would want to leave the gravelly bits in for reference and grounding though. Nice use of color regardless.

    Definately different. Abstract-looking for sure. I'd kind of like to see a shot with the building that's being reflected. Unless of course this is cropped from such a shot.

    Unfortunately there were cars between the building and reflection. Look at the whole picture:

    Nice eye and a beautiful crop. Well done to get a picture off a not to good original. Well done,

    I like this a lot. It reminds me of an impressionist painting. Your colors ar very vibrant and the shimmer of the water give the whole image a glowing effect. Great use of creative croping to get a very nice image from an other wise drab photo. Well done.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Great image. And I thought I was the only one who was a Mad Cropper!

    The blues are great and so complementary. I would never have envisioned the larger image.
