Yep. Definitely (one of) your style(s). Seems a little busier than your usual water shots - perhaps the combination of ripples on the water and the dense background foliage in the upper third of the shot. But, as usual, what stunning color and light!

Is he holding a camera / camera phone, or making a boxing gesture at the gulls? Either way it's a great shot.

Terrific light and leading lines complementing an intriguing tableau with seemingly non-sequir taxidermy. Weird. Wonderful.

A very traditional take on the challenge and a very effective one at that. The color softness pervades every part of this careful conceived and executed image. Nice.

Sentiment with Maelstrom

Engaging abstract, eye catching and attention holding. Not quite sure about the balance from upper left to lower right with the significant lower right emptiness contrasted with the maelstrom of color at upper left. Still compelling.

A careful set-up. Well lighted to pastelly-ness and beyond. Add pristine reflection and voila! Seriously, the lighting control is really impressive and way beyond my capability. Nice execution.

This appeals to my geometric predilections. Well put together but not sure why... and that's fine with me.

Pastels - for sure. Bridesmaids - a stretch. Three a possible miscount. Lovely nonetheless and I think there's a fight for the flower. Seriously, I'm not a big droplet fan, but this is different enough to hold my attention for longer than a sidelong glance.
