excellent, love the contrast and the use of negative space. Was wondering if you got the water to look like this by changing the shutter speed but interesting to know it was the sharpness! good tips for me, thank you

Everything about this is stunning! I love that it is natural. The color combination is beautiful! Even the bubbles add to the interest of the picture! Great work!

This sure got my vote in the contest. I love everything about it. The neutral water color and pattern contrasts well with the orange/brown of the leaf. The bubbles also add interest. Just a simple photo but works well for this abstract contest. Well done.

I think this is an excellent entry for the Nature in Abstract contest.
I love the concept and cleverness of this photo.
Great rippling effects in the water. Great textures and colors. Interesting and thought provoking.
Really well accomplished.

This is a wonderfully creative photo. The orange up against that gray/black is so striking. And the swirls of water are caught so beautifully.

This is an interesting capture. Due to the distortion, caused by swirling waves and bubbles, your photo looks indeed abstract. The photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. The mixed media changes are carefully made and appropriate. I appreciate the realism of color and light. The leaf is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Awesome photograph of this leaf floating under the surface of the water. I like the ripples of water over the leave. Good focus and lighting. Nicely composed. Sharp detail. Well composed. Nicely done. Good luck in the photo contest.

Wow this is very good. Hurt my eyes nearly so wiggly but yes I can see what you saw and compliment you on your action and realisation of this unusual capture. The copours are great and appear natural. The orange glowing through those whirly grey water movements is great to see. Well done.

    Thanks so much! Saw it start floating by and had to wait for an unobstructed view to photograph it!

Very nicely done! This is a well balanced photo that captures the ripples and details well. The swirling patterns make this abstract indeed! Great work!
