A magnificent masterpiece involving movement and colours - it's natural and yet abstract. I love the golden colour. Sigh.....!! So good, Ursula!

Die Aufnahme gefällt mir sehr gut. Wunderschönes Licht dort in der Wasserwelle. Sehr gut gesehen. Am Columbia River war ich vor ein paar Jahren als ich British Columbia besucht habe. Das Bild weckt daher große Sehnsucht in mir. Am Clearwater River hat es mir auch sehr gut gefallen. Leider ist mein englisch völlig unbrauchbar. Lieben Gruß vom Franz
Ursula I Abresch  Thank you, danke, Franz. I can understand German, so don't worry. :)

Extremely beautiful and interesting shot. I don't think I've ever seen another photo that captures the colors in water like this one does - where did that gold come from? This goes into my 1x favorites album as the first photo there.
Ursula I Abresch  It is reflections of the sun going down. I was quite surprised myself when I saw that they'd been captured that way. I was actually trying to avoid the sun sparkles on the water, and this happened sort of by chance :)

This is a great picture but I think it would be better without the colour that everyone seems to love. This might make a powerful B&W image but I might be wrong and everyone else that love the gold might be right!
Peace,
Mark
Ursula I Abresch  Thank you, Mark, I appreciate the feedback. I am working on images similar to this, but in B&W. It seems to me though that the B&W approach to this kind of situation is a much more common way to go about it, and a B&W version of this would look like many other B&W closeups of water/waves. It is the colour, especially the reflected golds of the sun going down, that "makes" the image (in my mind). But you're right, B&W closeups of moving (or stopped in motion) water can be extremely powerful.

Ursula I am rather new here, but images like this will keep me coming back for a long time. Beautiful light & colour.
Very special indeed!!
Ursula I Abresch  James, welcome to OnExposure, and thank you! I hope to see more of your images.
Quite nice, yes. The dynamic lines are what does it for me, as well as the cropping. But one thing that irritates me, are the small dots of cyan in the wave lines. I think I would have preferred it, if the cyan colours were smooth rather than dots. Especially the part in the right top part behind the wave.

this is the first time i see sparks coming out of the water. you would expect at least that Venus comes out of these waves. wonderful
Ursula I Abresch  Venus wasn't cooperating. I tried to coax her out of the water by offering her some cookies, but, no, she wouldn't come out :)

This evening I will switch off all the lights ... put "Ripples" in my CD player and enjoy this photo with the right atmosphere ...
Simply wonderful Ursula
Ursula I Abresch  Hehe, you had me confused there. I have a picture called "Ripples", and I was wondering for a moment how you were going to put that on your CD player :)

Thank you for your nice comment, Maurizio!

i think looking at this we can all see why at least in english they use the term whiter horses to characterise the white crests of waves your image emulates that perfectly.
