sanctuary

In my imagining, this scene begged for a figure claiming this as a

solemn place and my mischievous self thought it needed another figure

intruding on this privacy. Comments and critique appreciated.

Hi Wayne,

  Creative work of art with wonderful details & colors.  I really had to squinting to see the story.  Great work as always.  Take care, Patsy

Patsy,

Thanks. I probably should have added the statement about clicking for the larger view.

Perfect treatment of fine details and reflections!

Vlad,

Many thanks.  When these conditions exist at this pond, I have learned to visually believe in this upside down world and start designing as I am photographing. It seems right to leave clues that the image is upside down yet process in ways to reinforce my vision of the right side up scene.

Good planning did pay off with this composition Wayne. Visually stunning!

Gail,

Many thanks.  This pond in icy conditions inspires imagination.
