Grass in the water under a thin layer of ice.

Adjusted contrast and brightness quite a bit, thats where the strange colors came in
Saturation and color balance to get the gold color I wanted.

I like this as an abstract... I bet if you converted this to a blue and green shot it would look really really neat. I like how it looks kind of like flowing mercury...at least to me.

If the whole shot could be like the center of the image, I think you'd have an amazing abstract. As it is, I think the large, uniform brown sections don't go over as well.

Well, I gave you a 6. It is a very nice abstract image, but when compared to some of the higher scoring ones it just doesn't have the same appeal. While I enjoy abstract images, this one was just nice as opposed to beautiful. It certainly fit the challenge and was a technically sound photo. I can only think that maybe if the grass was more obvious and therefore gave the photo one thing voters could have recognized they might have liked it more. Overall, I have noticed that the more abstract the image is, the worse it does here.

I like water effects like this. To me the ripples look like an animal of some sort riding the water from right to left with its mouth open. There is a very clear white area that looks like an eye due to the black spot it contains.

I didn't vote on this challenge though can see the low votes related more to the challenge topic rather than the quality of the image.

This seems to be not much of anything - but possibly has a really good story to it. Can't get the connection with odd though.

mmm...interesting! I love this photo! It seems like a contemporary painting. The clear + murky spots serves as nice contrasts. I still don't understand what I am looking at.
