EDIT: This piece served as my April Fool's Day prank, as I submitted it as being a traditional abstract painting.
         Original description below:

Like I said last week, I'm done with photography and moving on to painting, after my cameras were stolen from my car.
I like painting nature abstracts and cereal box mascots.
So that's that.
Besides, photography isn't art anyway!

Amazing!
At first glance, I thought this was a watercolor! The colors are vivid and bright and the distortion looks really neat.

This piece is somehow calming....well done!

This is real cool reflection, it looks super pretty. You sure are good at finding interesting things

Thanks! I kept going back there to try and get this shot right. I was fortunate to finally get the light and wind to cooperate with me.

meganbreukelman [2013-04-06 12:37:36 +0000 UTC]

i love this so much! it really did look like a painting to me; the colors are absolute perfection. there is certainly a difference between this and a standard picture of a reflection on water; you have created something unique and inspiring. very good job.

Miguel-Santos In reply to meganbreukelman [2013-04-08 17:20:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much Megan. It's nice to know how you feel about this. I did take my time to find the right composition and that depended a lot on the wind. It was worth it.

WhenPigsFry [2013-04-05 00:46:33 +0000 UTC]

Ha... Great prank! And great reflection art, it has a very calming feel about it (at least to me). Reading through your comments.... you did get some people... If I followed you, it would have probably got me, too! Especially the last part about photography isn't art.

Miguel-Santos In reply to WhenPigsFry [2013-04-08 17:18:14 +0000 UTC]

haha I really went over the top with that photo-not-art statement.
It took me a while to get this shot, mainly waiting for the right light and wind to combine... glad you like it. I too feel it's quite calming. Water usually makes me feel like that. Thanks for the comment and support.
