3 from one of my favorite and probably overdone subjects.

Nice. Overdone? Not in the least. IMHO, you've brought a fresh interpretation to moving water and it works marvelously.

I don't know, I keep feeling like I should eat it, looks like cotton candy to me.

In all honesty, I love the textures that came about from these. Very nice and gives you a warm feeling like looking at a nice wool blanket. Be curious how they would look printed large and on a nice rag paper.

I like the woolly nature of these. It's getting kind of disconnected from water (wool: warm and dry), which is interesting.

Thanks for the look-in and comments guys.

Eric - 'Far Out'  :)  Glad you are still 'with it'.  A couple of weeks ago I spent a bit of time explaining to one of my graduate students that had just turned 29 why any one over 30 used to be considered suspect.  He clearly didn't get it.  Times change.

Bob - by overdone, I meant that I shoot water as a subject a lot and haven't yet had my fill of it.  I've had very little time for photography in the last few months an am beginning to feel a bit rusty.  So going back to an old favorite doesn't seem to me to be very creative but is still enjoyable.

Scott - the warm and fuzzy feel goes well with the sunset light these were taken in.

As a note of interest - the water was actually flowing from left to right in #'s 2 & 3, despite the illusion (at least to me) that it was the opposite.

It has all been said. Can't add any more praise.

Even I have had to change some with the times. My "trust" borderline keeps going up. These days anybody over 80 is suspect (sorry Russ.)   :D
