It is definitely an interesting take, Grahame. If it's honesty you're looking for, then personally, "maybe." The shot itself looks as though it would be great if I could see the water drop and splash for what they are.

I like that you changed it to a suggestion rather than a representation, but overall, I feel the shot may have lost too much detail and especially reflectivity in this presentation.

My question is, "what would I think about the image if I didn't know what it was?"

Artistically, I love it. It's just a little pixelated, and rough around the edges. But I think that's part of the artistic appeal.
I must say, the image has held my interest for quite some time. There's enough mystery to make me want to explore.



PPY-definitely!

I think we really don't need to know what this is/was. Its form and colors are so beautiful it will hold viewers' attention for quite a while.

Probably that edge pixelation is due to the compression into the small size and then enlarged.
