focused (really!) on leaves and other woodsy debris at the bottom of a shallow creek, while the water was rapidly flowing over it. The shutter speed was slow relative to the speed of the water; that, coupled with the strong midday sunlight dappling the water lent an interesting effect to the image.

no crop - I'm beginning to find a virtue in the telephoto perspective

taken with a rental - Canon 300mm f/4 L IS

I think this should have done better. I love the blend of the colors. It has a painty sort of feel that makes it feel relaxing. Good job on this because it caused emotion to someone.

the blur gives this a great sense of motion and depth - very dreamy!

Can't really define the subject or medium here. Effective abstract all the same.

Very absorbing, provocative photograph. It asks questions of the viewer; about context, even about the medium we are seeing (i.e. Is it under water? In a puddle? In a deep drift at the base of the tree?) Then other thoughts follow (What does it smell like? Is it soft, or crunchy?) I like questions, and the less information that's easily grasped, the more questions your image asks. Too good for a score but I'm giving it one anyway. 9.

Blurry, soft, and a fascinating semi-abstract. I like the play of light through the water and leaves.

Stunning! I'm always trying to catch an image like this, and generally I fail. 10

Leaves, tree, sky? A reflection? Unique. Not sure it'll do great with the voters, but a lot to look at and wonder about within this abstract.

Beautiful abstract. No further words needed...will just simply admire it.

I'm not voting, but I wanted to comment that this photo is just haunting and beautiful!

I really like the colors and the abstractness, but something isn't flowing right. I tried spinning the image around to see if it was just the orientation, but that didn't help. I wish I could pinpoint it!
