Wow, that's an amazing abstract shot.    

Couldn't decide if it fit more abstract art of a cool drone shot so just combined it.  

Have a wonderful week Ann.

Both. And very nice

It qualifies superbly as either one

Lovely shot Ann, from a decent height I imagine?

Very abstract,   Have you tried a B&W conversion?

Ooooh... that would look good...

I was thinking it might bring out the textures.

DAFlys Posted at 2-23 02:08

It absolutely will.. a bit of gamma curve tweaking and mono conversion will make an already really good abstract shot like that really pop...

I thought so too.  Minus the tire's in the bottom.  Its a lake they're draining to fix the dam.

I think I was at 84feet.  

Thank you Chris

No I haven't.  I can always try.

I don't disagree with you guys.  I'm working on it and my B&W just looks flat.  I'm also very new at trying color grading.

So it will soon be submerged for the duration.  Don't worry about the tyres - they're just there for artistic effect

No, they just started.  Draining a certain volume to allow fish time to adjust.

No doubt it will be much better for the wildlife when finished.

Hope you don't mind, but here's a quick go at a mono version... I wouldn't call this an improvement by any means as your colours add a lot to the image as well, but this certainly takes the abstraction up a notch or two.

I tired it.  Not as good as your.  Kinda went too far.  But still looks kinda pretty.

Yeah, you lost a bit of detail in the darks... but you made it look almost animal!

Nice, I would call it an abshot for being both abstract and a remarkable drone shot.

Thank you, sir.

It was just a quick 5 minute attempt that was helped by the quality source material.
