Tremblant Oct 2016 -1

It is said a painting is finished when there is nothing else to take away.  There is nothing in this image I would remove.  Well designed, Tony.

Original and well composed. Very nice colours too.

Well controlled light, wonderful clarity of the water and and a well thought out composition for this long exposure makes it one of the best I have seen.

Excellent work Tony!

Tony,

  Beautiful creative image with wonderful composition, colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

Just like an aerial photo with  tiny rocky islands in the raw. Oil film(?) attached around them plays the role of  white crashing waves.

Many thanks. I will comment in more detail later. I am still tired from a grueling but enjoyable day yesterday.

Excellent composition and use of light. Rocks diagonal with "surf" around them and sinuous lines throughout.  Well done!

Even before reading the comments I thought this looked like an island chain with trade currents winding between them.  Good stuff... Mike

I am glad you liked it. I spent the whole day doing Fall images yesterday. I am having a hard time freeing up a whole day for photography but I made it happen by cancelling 2 engagements.

Thanks.   I had fun taking it. I had so many options, I had a hard time deciding. The attached is what the location looked like. I was just really keeping the general one to myself because just about everyone has seen something like that.

You are making me blush. Thank you for the very kind compliment.  I had taken a few because the bubbles floating by would make different patterns. I liked this one the best they were more curvaceous.  

Thanks.

You have this special ability to see abstractly and I thought I had that also but I had not seen the 'islands' perspective. The oil is really small bubbles floating by. When i took the original images at a faster speed, I was not sure I liked it and that is when I decided to use a slow shutter speed to create that blur.

I think you described the lines as sinuous which is very accurate appropriate. I see them as curvaceous.  (*_*) Glad you liked it.

I see you and Michail have similar views.  Thanks for commenting.

Really beautiful, Tony. I'm seeing the stones as stepping stones inviting me to enter the photo. I love how the floating red leaves echo the red reflection, and I'm thoroughly enjoying how my eyes are sometimes exploring the surface of the water and sometimes diving in to explore the bottom.

Can't add anymore, that hasn't already been said, just a great shot in every sense. Best wishes William.

Very Nice! Great color and the flow lined add a wonderful sense of motion and yet no motion. Well seen.

Tony, what a beautiful capture ! eye catching in this nice vertical !     Congr.

Tony, very, very nice capture. A great eye to pick out this abstract from that general area. It's a touch busy for me YMMV.

Regards,

Many thanks. I will respond a bit later in detail. I am probably out taking shots.

Love the abstractness and patterns and colors in the water!

Here in Canada it is Thanksgiving where yesterday (Monday)  was a public Holiday. That allowed me much more time for all kinds of photography over this long week-end. I did not have much time to keep my promise. I am now attempting to keep my promise and write more details while addressing any questions but every one seems to have enjoyed the image.

On that day I must have shot 400 images and I suppose every once in a while you are going to get lucky. I should be able to control myself but after getting up very early to get to a location at least 2 hours away from home, I have this urge to keep on shooting at everything that moves or does not move. My big challenge after visiting a spot for a few years during Fall, is to find something that most people have not seen before. Sometimes the weather and light helps and sometimes like yesterday where it was sunny, cool, cloudless, bright blue sky, I found it challenging to get new images.

In this image I was fond of the little patch of light on the left which seem to balance with the orange reflection on the upper right hand corner.  

All the very best and thank you for all of your kind remarks.
