Abingdon, England - 1 June 2019 This started as an image of water reeds, reflected sun and lily pads in Abbey Stream, a small but beautiful tributary of the Thames by Abingdon. The reeds are bending in the rapid flow as the water accelerates towards Abingdon locks and its union with the River Thames. Nice. But then I got adventurous and turned it into something more colorful and abstract, using a combination of Photoshop techniques including multi-layer blending, transformations and gradient mapping. I hope you like it!
