A waterfall, shot from a bridge in New Hope, PA. Only processed this in LR, vibrance, sharpening, fill light and recovery, and two graduated filters to lighten the top and darken the bottom. A bit of NR and then exported from LR at 800px.
Thanks for the nice finish, kind words, favs, critiques, and honorable mention!

Congratulations on your second ribbon for the year and for a challenge that has such street cred. This was one of my top picks for the challenge and I'm very happy to see it on the front page.
I love the sweep of curved lines in this abstract. The water waves fan out from the bottom left upwards to the top of the canvas. At the top the wave 'crashes' and opens up with splashes of yellow for some bold punch of color.
...and run they do! Fantastic. Not sure about the extent of the lower 1/3...I might have cropped it up a bit shorter, maybe almost to square. Just a thought. I like it a lot, regardless.
Abstract. Looks like a painting. Love it! So different than most of the entries. Looks like something to hang on the wall! Well done! Hope it does well.
