30 second exposure of river weed and floating leaves. No editing other than a little exposure/white balance adjustment.

There is something I really like about the way the lines work in the picture, looks dreamy in some way.

*POST CHALLENGE*
Guess the voters here don't like abstract. Nevermind, the favourable comments are greatly appreciated.

I enjoyed your abstract very much and gave it a 9 - this long exposure is an excellent idea. Makes me think a bit of Andy Goldsworthy.

I figured this shot wasn't going to do so well, since abstracts seem to be misunderstood here on DPC, unless placed in the context of an Abstract challenge. But 418th seems a bit low for such a gorgeous shot! The lines and movement here, combined with the details of the leaves is superb. The colors are fantastic, complimenting each other nicely. Thank you for taking the risk of submitting this and sharing it with those of us who appreciate a great abstract shot. Great job!

This is VERY intersting, but I personally think that it needs more of a subject. Otherwise this is really neat! :)

This is simply lovely - I can't really articulate why it appeals to me so much - it seems to suck me in in a very soothing and comforting way. 8

This is a great abstract art piece. I love the flow and colors in this, and what appears to be leaves. Great work here.

Intriguing abstract; could almost be a macro of a material.

I can't explain what I like about this one. Well, other than my obvious bias towards green. :) The reflections in the waves take on a multi-angular colored jumble that look like they come straight from a Picasso painting! It gives me a very peaceful feeling. The flow of time will go on forever. I don't usually think frames add much but this one is perfect for the subject. Bumping this one up to a nine. A ribbon in a perfect world. At DPC I bet a top 50. Congrats.

I have spent a bit of time looking at this and can't figure it out. I supposed it is an abstract, but it isn't really working for me.

I like the abstract feel, but IMO the faded border doesn't work.

Nice colours, but really have no idea what I am looking at. The title helps but the result has no impact to me. Would have liked to have seen what is going on around to add some depth. Good Luck. 4.
