Imagine

Terrific photo!!! Very imaginitive with perfect execution.

Sometimes nature looks like a dream, for exemple yesterday on my way

out of the office I met this.

Now you can say I must

1) belucky with my office location and

2) to have my camera this days

I would say yes to the first because I ALWAYS have my camera....

Thanks for comments and rating.

Jean, this is very dreamy and indeed. The framing with the trees is excellent and the colours are very soft and pastel-like. The ripples in the water give the image a movment which I think is where the dream element comes from. The whole atmosphere is calm and serene witha surreal quality. You did well to spot this and you obviously saw in your minds eye the potential for an excellent photograph.

 

 

 

 

 

On one hand I would second what others said. On the other hand the not-reflected part (ice on the lake?) disturbes the ballance for me. A very good idea, but I would try to work out the trees a bit more.

The ice at the bottom works for me - gives some resemblance of ground so the shot seems both dreamy and realistic at the same time. Congratulations.

A really beautiful image. Colors are amazing and the composition works for me...Sometimes having a camera in your pocket gives satisfactions not imagined even to a skilled photographer.

Liquid beauty!

A beautiful shot. I would remove the ice except that it adds some needed contrast to make the photo stand out. It grows on you. Turning it upside down took both vison and daring. Excellent.

Awesome, I like the way the trees frame the photo

Jean I've been looking at your stuff for a while now and you just keep improving. Keep it up!

This is a truly lovely photo.

Nice picture!

 

May be I will try to crop the top part a bit.

 

Very attractive picture!

 

Best regards

Ahhh...reflections and the many things they allow us to shoot. Good work on this. Colors and exposure are done good. I have a couple of reflection shots in my folders. Your's is a keeper.

Another great picture from you Jean! I especially like the way the large ripples, going from the middle right upwards, interfere with the smaller ones. Lovely!

Would like to add to the praising choir: it looks like a painting! There was a small discussion lately on photo.net as part of one photo critique: what constitutes art in nature photography. This image really helps distinguish what art is. It's not just a record of reality.

Très jolie photo!

Not much more to say. The abstract quality I love so well in landscape shooting. great image.

Splendid image, Jean... Another hit !

It looks as if it was painted on canvas!

 

Très originale!

 

Very nice. I wonder what it would have been like with the water still? Ooh, but strong as is also.

Very nice shot!!! Keep up the good work!

Jean, this is a great image. Since I'm heading to the lake for a few days today it puts me in just the right mood. Granted, a lake in Texas is not the same as your homeland, but I hope it will still be a good opportunity to play with the camera. Wonderful work as usual!

I love the 'painterly' effect.

This is a work of art, Jean. Beautiful. For some reason it reminds me of my home in northern Manitoba - maybe because I grew up right on a lake.

The thumbnail looks like a painting.
