This is a very pretty photo Dot. The rippled reflections of the trees look as though they're touching the little shrubs on the other side . Such pretty little flowers on them too. Excellent shot.
Okay, now, you' ve got someone on the other side with a paddle setting these fantastic ripples up, right? Just so you can capture this perfect water shot....lol...jk jk jk...I love this, and who wouldn't? I can't believe how many of those beauties there are in this one capture, with their shadows and shining tops creating a calm feeling....and the flowers...the light green foliage are in a very pleasing-to-the-eye. contrast that is highlighted by the sun striking them. I have one tiny suggestion to you, and you've probably already guessed it: I would do away with those weeds or sticks marring the whole thing by rearing their heads up from the water. I feel like they detract from the pure pleasure you've created here.. :))PJ
I thought about the sticks too. I debated. I have come to the conclusion that I am a purist. If it was there in real life, than it should be there in the picture. It doesn't always work that way, I know, but I think about it everytime I am editing a photo.
Wow..they just keep getting prettier! Way to go getting those little ripples in there..really adds to the beauty! Are there more to come?? Nice new avatar too btw!! C):-)
This is sooooooooo pretty!!!! What an excellent, excellent Summer capture!! Those flowers are simply gorgeous...and what with the water and reflections, this is just an all around perfect photo!!
