the bird is a male eider duck and what he's swimming through is a reflection of a long row of big windows in a building that used to house a restaurant called Thompson's Clam Bar, on Wychmere Harbor in Harwich Port.... Mr. Thompson sold it some years back and now it's too exclusive for the likes of you and me... ah well, that's the way it crumbles, cookie-wise...

Eiderdown pillows and cookies.. doesn't get much better than that!

... ...

Hey, it's ok to leave cookie crumbs in your bed, they serve and act like an exfoliator. Particularly during the drier winter months.

:oP


Ahem.. right, back to your image here ...

Well, Pat above took the thoughts right from me own pea brain. Always curious to see what your mind's eye and camera will provide us on the note of any given subject.


Composition is strong. As per your usual.

Concept is strong as well. Even without the benefit of your accompanying narrative.


Caveats?

Here, I am thinking.. given the largest resolution size available that you did indeed resize your photo before uploading.

There is some creative science behind the various options available to you with your image editing software/program.

Check out this article/tutorial (grab yourself a cuppa a few baked good good morsels for the read):

"Difference Between Image 'Resizing' and 'Resampling' In Photoshop"

(/\ The same information extends and is common to most, if not.. all image editors.)

The reason I make mention of this stuff, is that the lines are getting close to being 'hard'. And perhaps, with an adjustment on this creative front ... might provide an assist towards a more polished and finished result going smaller on the upload size(s)/resizing(s).

That said..


Wonderful entry, and best of luck to you in the contest. :o)

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Excellent capture and love all the action and reflections in the water Mary, perfectly captured. That's too bad it's so expensive but it does look like a wonderful location.

By the reflections I googled and now its called the Wychmere Harbor Beach Club, is that right

Les stole my comment on eiderdown, but OK, there is no need for my asking now.
Eerie, magic and mysterious on one hand.
And so very charming on the other.
Thanks, dear Mary.
