Zennish in its simplicity. I think the colors are great, nice vibrancy between the blue and greey. The stillness of the water is highlighted by the leaf floating on the top of it. Lighting and focus is wonderful. I do wish there was a bit more negative space and the leaf was a little less centered. Its not exactly centered now but if it was a bit more pushed to one of the corners I think that'd make the image that much stronger. I gave a 6

I LOVE this...amazing colour and composition. The reflected sky is a little grainy and may have been fixed a little, but that's just me...superb 9

The actual sky part of the photo looks a little grainy to me, otherwise, I really like your shot!

---Greetings from the Critique Club!---

First Impression - one of the very few true abstracts in the challenge.

I'll start by saying that not many of the entries are what I would call true abstracts. This shot is for sure.

The back lighting works well here. There's a real nice glow to the whole image. Even though your comments say you used noise reduction I still see quite a bit of noise, especially in the shadows.

The liquid feel gives a real sense of motion that is hard to capture. This shot has a lot going for it. The voters may have been too hung up on trying to figure out what it is instead of enjoying the sensory treat this image gives.

I think this shot was under rated, but that's life at DPC, right?

I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

cropping the sky out entirely might make for an interesting image, just the lines of the building. the sky isn't as appealing.
