Feedback welcomed.
Shot a fast-moving stream at 1/1000 sec while facing into the sun (a couple of hours after sunrise).

I love the different textures of this. The contrast in colors is very peaceful to me.
Without you telling us what this is, we could have interpreted it as several things.
Nice capture.

I debated on posting a version with no grasses in the water and not identifying the subject. It could definitely be fun to hear various interpretations. I think some parts of this pic look like a shot of mountains taken from an airplane I love the different textures of this. The contrast in colors is very peaceful to me.

I decided to do this way with ID hoping that others might be inspired to think outside the box a little, especially as regards the light. Thanks so much for your comments!

Well now, young lady, how many "rules" of composition and exposure did you have to break to create this image? Fast shutter speed on moving water? Shooting into the sun? Exposing more for the shadows than highlights? A regular photographic desperado.
It's an outstanding photo, truly beautiful contrasts in color and form. I'm curious as to the extent of sharpening you did in post? The edges on the contrasting areas are just sharp enough for a natural look. The natural lines draw the viewer into the image and gradually define it as you see what the details actually are.
There is nothing not to love about this photo.

I find that I prefer it upside down. There is a surprising amount of blue lurking in there.

It might take me awhile to be comfortable with the flip, but I greatly appreciate your interest.

If you turned the green of the grass to orange it could probably be passed off as a shot of a lava flow.

I posted a dng and unedited jpg to PP Forum, if anyone would like to edit:

To answer Andy's question about sharpening, yes I did selective sharpening in PS Elements, along with several Nik Color Efex filters: color contrast, pro contrast, darken edges, vignette. Also, when editing the raw file, I pushed some sliders pretty far, including clarity and contrast.
Thanks again!

A fine example of an artistic rendering using creativity and imagination. Break some rules and the results can be classic!
