Tempting Darkness

This is a very interesting composition; all the different elements used in the manipulation blend and create an atmosphere of subtle and soft changes. I would slightly change the ripple a little... by the angle of the image the ripples would not look circular but rather a more oval and elliptical shape. I really enjoy the color combinations of blue, brown and some subtle oranges everywhere. The tranquility and subtle textures make this image my favorite of the two versions!
