School's Out by

Taken at Kempenfelt Bay, Lake Simcoe, Barrie, Ontario Canada on Monday June 2nd/08. Leaning over the docks I noticed this school of minnows that kept dispersing and rejoining in intricate patterns in the water. My husband did not think I should upload this to RB but I find it an interesting abstract of the underwater world.

Nikon D40, Nikkor lens 18-55mm

    I really like it, it should go in the Abstract Realism group, I like the directional flow and the tones in the image. Very good shot Joanne! :)

  • Wasn`t exactly sure where it fit in. Thanks Anne, I just joined!

    Shoals of fish make the most wonderful abstract patterns. This is a beaut!

    Great title! Lovely pattern and flow to the image. Sometimes it’s worth uploading an image to get another opinion. You made the right decision.
