Great composition. The DOF is perfect: the focus fades off into the distance at just the right rate.The blue is fantastic too.
I'm left with visions of people with wet backsides who didn't notice the water.... :-)

Pulseman and Joie de Vivre ... thanks for the exclamation marks and nice comments.
OneMipipippi ... and if they did sit, the remaining bum print would have been a photo shot too, perhaps (hee hee). Thanks for the nice comments ... I respect your opinion a lot.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. Seems, like me, you like the intense blue in repetition. Glad you enjoyed.

1life_2live ... it was a rainy day and the city bench in the park beckoned for a photo. He was lonely without his human companions on Friday (LOL)

plus: the whole idea, the colors and it's very sharp
minus: the rubbish underneath the bench..
aremac (70 months ago | reply)
plus: That you've focused on the 4th to 7th stripe
minus: I would prefer to have the last stripe horizontally aligned

What a great variation on a theme. I also love the progressive thing in shots, but seldom concentrate on them. Here is a big

wim_kok and aremac ... I will try to fix the items you suggest, and post the revised version on the +- group. I'm at 100% now, so it will have to wait a week though. Thanks for the excellent suggestions.

plus: Splendid photograph... abstracts at its best. Great use of perspective and of course that crisp blue colour other already mentioned.
minus: I am not too sure whether that little yellow flower actually helps or distracts? It is more a question than a criticism, though.
Splendid work! Regards ~jnconradie

plus: The color, reflections in the water, perspective.
minus: It's a nit-picky one, but perhaps a slightly lower angle, and looking toward the other side of the bench instead of into the bend? I'm digging here...I know...
Love the photo. :)
