Enlarging the image is extremely lovely and the choice of b/w is grand.

Is this fairyland? It is fantastic Pat. The B/W seems to emphasize the shadows and reflections. Sit in a boat and not move? And what are those long things silently gliding past?

Wonderful shot and particularly good choice in B&W - sometimes less is more.

I believe you are embracing b/w Owd Momma. Now if Silence is on your menu, we are in for a treat. Just kidding. :)
I like it very much and I too like the sounds of silence when I am in the woods. I enjoy nature chirping in every once in a while as well.

The B&W emphasises the patterns made by the reflections in the water. this is so atmospheric Pat.

Oh my, this is just awesome. Makes me miss the South very much. I love the Crypress stumps!! I also remember when I tried my hand at water skiing, and how the boat had to be extremely careful of those same stumps!! I tried it once, but due to see watersnake heads peeking out. I never tried that again! I love the b&w here...makes the feeling so dramatic. Just love this and am for sure keeping this one Pat...fantastic photo. Verena

So many Cypress knees! Niiice B&W. I would love to take a canoe ride through this enchanted forest, and I can imagine the quiet of the place... Silence is a big reason I walk in the woods whenever I can...
