Thank you for finally posting a shot of a park bench, Wendell. I was afraid that someone had assumed your identity and was going to continue to post French impressionistic fractals. Now I know it's really you.

I loved that movie "A Bench Too Far" although I thought the book was better. The musical on Broadway was misplaced, but I did enjoy the situation comedy for the three years that it was on CBS.

Good work capturing those crazy reeds in that wind. I would have ended up with a blurry mess. However, I'm happy to know that even the folks in Nova Scotia are suffering through the winds that we're having here although I doubt that it's hay fever season where you are. The pollen index is off the charts here. Love the greens in your shot, as everything is starting to turn brown here because of the drought. Very nice work with the composition and that cute peak through the vegetation at the signature bench. The only thing I noticed is that the contrast seems slightly excessive in the background. Maybe it's just my natural fear of dark forests after my encounter with those lions, tigers and bears (oh, my) on the yellow brick road.

This capture has a good array of color, and I like the windblown reeds in the foreground. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I could swim there in a couple of minutes lol,great looking photo with lovely light and shade and very good depth of field too.The light and the water adds a very good touch to this photo as well.Plus the composition and reeds at the front of this shot make for a great capture.Well done Wendell.

"Though it would be nice to sit awhile" Pardon the plagiarism, but I was sure you told me you could walk on water. No more excuses. Go forth young man.

OK~ The water caused the slight underexposure in the darker background. If you happen to have Topaz Lens Effects, lightening the Top Quarter just a smidge will bring out more tonal range in the far background.

Love the peek through the reeds to the bench - greens seem a tad oversaturated to my eye but they are nice sight after so much white in march!

I like this shot a great deal, Wendell.
Great tones and I like the grasses in the foreground and the background.

The view is very nice. It looks as if it was a windy day.
Nice composition with the reeds in the forground.
Very nice work.

Nice shot with the wind whipping up little waves on the water. Talk about wanting a bench - I never wanted a seat more in my life as I did at Dubai airport two years ago. All seats were occupied. I was truly tired and had to keep walking/standing!

By the time I get to this bench, I will need a rest....nice one Brother; a beautiful shot!

A a rustfull place to sit I wish...........
