I like your multiple design elements! you have the wood (warm) with its own shape and you have the water (cool) with an opposite movement/shape. Love this. #249384

Great lines, beautiful reflections ... what a dynamic contrast of "wood and ripples"! #1462659

I like this one slightly better than this other version. That combination of stark lines and soft ripply background texture creates a very interesting visual effect. Good job! #1486521

Love this simple, two-element pattern shot. Love the colors. It just feels good to stare at it. Gotta know: did you bump the color in PS? If so, did you bump the water separately from the dock? #1528191

Hi Greg, Great to hear from you again and welcome to the site. I think that you'll like it a lot.

Regarding color, I did bump the color but not much . I used the selective color command and took some yellow out of the blue. That gave the water a little bit more contrast with the dock that had natural yellows in it already. The color here is actually how I remember seeing it.
Thanks! Have a good one and enjoy the site.
