The thumbnail didn't look like much, but when I enlarged it, the image became quite enchanting.
It raises all sorts of interpretive questions.

Well done!

Hi Todd,

I like it very much...Now, did you find it or place it. Either way, it works. However, if you placed it, I would suggest you soften the edges and get it a bit waterlogged to give the impression that you came across it—a sense of story and discovery. A small water-soaked flattened colorful leaf would also help.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the input. I placed it. A drawing my mother evidently saved; her Indian on the left, my copy on the right. I will go back and re-look at what I captured as it was absorbed. I had the concept of it drifting away in mind obviously, but had not considered the concept of it being absorbed. I captured both but liked the tension between paper and water.  I will post  version 02  thanks, -/t

I like this much better (the verticle). It has "more". 

Another example of not being objective and looking through preconceptions.

I absolutely agree.
