    I like this. In general, these sorts of images often don't work because they lack a central point of focus. I've deleted lots. This one does work, I think, because the central curve created by the yellow area. I think it's an effective minimalist image, and it's attractive.

    Thanks Dan, it's a simple photo of a wave exposed for 3 seconds. As the river is in the canyon sun was reflected and produced yellowish colours.

    It is a very small image to view.

    The problem is not of your making, but the forum host is unable to show an up-loaded image in a decent size.

    Your image takes up about 10% of my screen. I cannot begin to view it properly.

    I have explained how you can link to a proper sized image via a site like Flickr. If you wish for comment on your images where people can examine it properly you will need to find a different method.

    You said this when I advised you before "I'being a bit lazy for that. Thanks Peter"

    That is not good enough

    Hi Peter, although I don't take my photos good and/or serious enough for a wider public presentation, I did try through Flickr according to "How to Post images" instructions. It says that "Do ensure the image url ends ".jpg", ".png" or ".gif", but I'm not getting link with proper extension on my right click. Link is fully operative everywhere but not on CiC. Have gone through the Flickr page structure trying to find any useful hint but in vain. Once I copy link address from Flickr I get "https://www.flickr.com/photos/194802719@N02/51821937064/in/dateposted-public/" and that doesn't work here. Have been trying it for a several times, even tried some tricks from Sinclair and Tandy times but it appears that I've been still short.
    Kindly, suggest what I should do. Thnaks

    It is a wonderful image and deserves to be seen properly

    For some reason it reminds me of Edvard Munch's "The Scream".

    That is a compliment btw.

    It is a compliment, Peter. That is what I like in abstracts, they may take you anywhere. I'm familiar with Munck's work and only similarity with The scream I can see here are curves. As for me, it makes me hear Smetana's Vltava
