I like the turquoise tones in this - but overall it's lacking a bit of wow. Let's see what else you have. I'd love to shoot for this and Posthumous, too. Let's see if I have time... doubtful.

Hey Janine - I was just thinking of you today!

Though this is an abstract, there's an area of the image that is in focus and one that is not. My eye is going to the area that is not in focus, so I'm thinking, what would happen if you flipped it? The OOF area would be at the top and I think the eye would go to the in focus and also more interesting area of the image.

You're right about the frame. In my opinion (and you know I have one), an image should be able to stand alone. The frame - if ever - should be an enhancement. In this case, I don't feel it adds anything. This image is all frame at the moment. The theme is very flowy, and the frame blocks it in.

All that aside - I love the movement and the colors of this photo. Very nice choice for the challenge topic. Hope this helps.

Nice colors. I like the crop of the boat as well, a nice tight shot.

I like the simple abstraction. With the cool color palette, it really works beautifully.

I like this one MUCH better. Very interesting composition. I find myself looking around the picture more. The only thing that somewhat bothers me is I don't see a lot of detail in the white part on the top. It seems blown out... although it could be my monitor.
