For this one, I'm actually back to comment after only 3.5 years. I was drawn to this immediately today and then noticed I had given a 9 during voting (2010 was my first year in DPC). I love this inverted reflection technigue, and this is really well done. Plus the color palette is wonderful!

I don't always leap to praise abstracts, but this is one of my two challenge favorites. Lovely.

Outstanding expressionism. The distortion and tones go well together.

Not saying "layers" to me, but I love the unctuous quality of the water.
