Reflections make such wonderful abstracts, and at the bird prserve, there were plenty of reflections in the water where the birds abound. This is a great blue heron on a log, reflected. the reeds/grasses looked like streamers, thus the title.
Post: intensified the colors, used Viveaz 2, and flipped.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well

You're right Alice, some of the very best abstracts come from water reflections and you have found an excellent one here, well done there is certainly plenty of colour and the bird is well abstracted. I must confess to be a sucker for reflections, I love the reed shapes and the birds head they are beautifully distorted. Perhaps the only thing I would alter is the composition to have more space in front rather than behind but perhaps this was unavoidable for you at the time?

It's disappointing for you that it wasn't better received but thanks for your entry Alice.

the water is angry. it's turning the birds into monsters. its magic is abstraction.
