Thanks for stopping by. Comments welcome:-)

Simple and beautiful.

Very nice and simple composition... just one point... I don't know if was possible don't cut the two lines of down...

Beautifully done!

Bengt, it is pure joy to look at this image. It is wonderful. It has been a long time since I have used film, but I am curious is the Rolleiflex SL66 a medium format camera?

Thanks, everyone. I am glad you like it. Joan, for an alternate, slightly wider view see: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10116111 . I can't recall whether that was a possibility from the angle I made this one. Linda, yes, the SL66 is medium format - you might want to take a look here: http://www.sl66.com/

This is simply beautiful.

WOW Bengt, you have done a really beautiful picture from a simple scene. Regards.

Good photo!

Very good photo; very graphical!

 

Thanks Bengt. I went to that site and had a look, very interesting. I remember back in 1966/67 when I took my first photography course at art college that we were allowed to take different cameras home to try out and experiment with. The original SL66 was one that I used for a short time. It must have made an impression if I can still remember it, although vaguely, after all these years. Best wishes, Linda

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Best wishes, Bengt.

Compliments, ciao, Giuseppe

Beautiful! Simple, minimalistic and very effective. I think the black and white conversion is perfect too. Do you have a rendition that includes the ends of the two reeds at the bottom? I wish they weren't cut off by the frame. Beautiful work, Bengt. Cheers! Chris

Lovely B&W work, as usual. However, I agree with Chris, I'd like a wider view with the reeds not cut off.

 

Edit: I read more of the comments and followed the URL you gave above. I like that wider shot a lot compositionally. I feel it has a nice balance in the composition that echoes the stillness of the water and the strong geometrical lines of the reeds.

 

I think the punchier contrast here might be better, though. But, I don't mind the tones in the other, wider, shot either.

Thanks, guys.

once again, nicely seen and executed. invites me to do as you did: stop and really look. use of dof pulls me in nicely into this microcosm.

Beautiful image! the reflection in the water is great.
