I was near a koi pond today and wondered what it would look like if I used a long shutter speed and just captured the swirls of color from the fish. Kinda looks like a painting (very minor PP done on these, by the way). Frankly, I'm kind of on the fence about whether to post them on my site. Wondering what you all think. Thanks for looking and commenting.

I love this concept, very dream-like, it really does look like a painting. The 2nd and 3rd are my favourites :)

Thanks, everyone, for the comments! I guess I will post these on my site, then.

Interesting concept! Did you use a CPL on these? I think that would really help to bring out the colors of the fish and the water more.

Wow, ...LOVE these.
Very Monet-esque!

As a matter of fact, I did use a CPL. Then a little tweak with the vibrant slider in LR and some bumping of the contrast.
