Comment by macrothing:

Originally posted by Imagineer: Striking abstract - like it. Some colour noise present which can be reduced by converting to LAB colour in PS and blurring channels 'a' and/or 'b'. (Plenty of alternative methods too.)

Thank you very much for this helpful comment. Would like to hear the alternative methods, especially ones not using PS. The noise (&/or grain?) is usually a result of too tight a crop or a boost in saturation and something I always notice and dislike.

Thanks to everyone else too for the comments, glad many of you liked this and 'saw' what I was trying to 'show'.

I just don't feel a connection here. I see a lot of boken and a plain of water with some nice texture and reflections. But not enough to hold my attention. Seems that your picture has a far amount of noise.
Wish you well in the challenge.
