RIVER OF SILVER & GOLD

Richard, this one is just beautiful. It doesn't rely on gimmickry or PS trickery. It has the delicate linear stroke of an Ingres line drawing, and your technique here (desaturation?) is handled brilliantly. I really love it. I'll bet it's a knockout larger. Do you post yours small so they won't be copied? I tend to do that myself, not that any of mine are as good as some of yours!!

Richard, this really is a superb image! Somehow, the blending of gritty urban realism and the delicate naturalness of the trees reflecting in the water makes for an incredibly evocative scene. Wonderful light too. I love just the hint of the grafitti in the background on the concrete wall. Where was this shot take? Excellent work! A 6/6 anonymously. Cheers! Chris
