A Swamp With Secrets

Any thoughts, suggestions, comments, critiques, ratings are welcome.

Thanks!

Anthropomorphizing the scene a bit, I imagine that dry twig as a fallen warrior returning to a line of elders in the background. There seems to be a tension between this spent little tree and the arrogant cluster of evergreens in the distance. The storm clouds only echo the turmoil.

It seems that you also have a talent for poetic literature as well as the visual arts. You have a beautiful way with words, and I really appreciate your comment. It goes beyond what I was thinking about when I took this. I was simply thinking how still and quiet it seems when it is actually teeming with life. There is all sorts of drama going on with the waterfowl, amphibians, fish, snakes, insects. Oh, and my little Yorkshire Terrier Molly, who decided to go for a swim in the slime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Estupenda toma y sensacional atmosfera captada,con una magnifica luz yb&w.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

In a past life or should I say marriage, I owned a Yorkie. A ferocious little beast, sneaky, and quite high maintenance. Don't get me started on the dog.

Very fine and beautiful composition. Bravo. Regards Michael.

Really perfectly composed landscape Linda with nice f/g and great depth.

The glorious cloudy sky and the rich b/w tonality make this image excellent.

 

Tolo, thank you, I'm glad you like it.

 

Jeff, Yorkies sure can be ferocious, Molly is sweet and loving with people, but she will attack any other living creature. She once brought an angry, charging mother bear with three cubs onto my back deck, and amost through the door. She doesn't understand that she is tiny.

 

Michael, thank you, nice to hear from you.

 

Karolos, you are so kind. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.

 

Warm regards to all of you.

Wonderful use of contrasts. I'm not sure I'd want to know all the secrets here. thanks for sharing Linda

I don't know if I would want to either. It looks much more foreboding in B&W than it did in colour. Thanks for looking and commenting. All the best.

 

 

A beautiful image! I LOVE the sky!! To be nit-picky, I think that the trees in the distance and the bottom left foreground are a bit too dark (is it clipped?), but those dark spots don't detract from the overall dramatic presentation. Lovely!

Very ominous scene! I'm from BC, living now in Texas, so I've enjoyed looking at your photos and remembering the beauty and mystery of the North. We're heading back to Canada in early July, as my youngest son is getting married.

I think I see a detached foot or hand there floating in the swamp. But, I guess that's what one comes to expect in B.C. these days! A jewel of an image. GJ

Lou Ann, t hanks for your thoughts. Hmmmm, perhaps it is a bit too dark.

 

Kim, thanks, How do you like living in Texas? Must be dramatically different from B.C.

 

GungaJim, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, we've been on the news, huh? It wouldn't suprize me if there were something like in there, there's no denying the strange, creepiness in this part of the world. Thanks for commenting. Warm regards.

 

 

 

 

Moody.... must be a place with many secrets!

Wonderful execution, Linda!
