Marri Reflection

Hi, The Marri trees are in full flower at the moment - taken plenty of photo's just as a record. However, in the evening when I am down at the farm dam pumping water for the stock, it is nice to just sit and look at their reflections - especially if there is a gentle breeze to ruffle the water. I have rotated the reflection so that it is 'the right way up'.

Thanks for looking in - C&C always appreciated.

Cheers, Richard.

    Love the effect - superb "painterly" feel.
    My opinion does not necessarily make it true. What you do with my opinion is entirely up to you.

    It does look painterly (like a famous French artist whose name escapes me)

    Evokes a pleasant feel, good capture.

    This is a marvelous shot, Richard. clap.gif It strikes me as being wonderfully chaotic, yet, concurrently, it exudes a strong sense of peace and tranquility.

    Chalk up another winner to the maestro from the south.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Hi Tom, After a hot day (which we have had plenty of this summer) it is quite peaceful down at the dam (especially once I switch the water pump off) so I think the shot does exude the evening tranquility - in a chaotic sort of way :D Always good to hear from you.

    Cheers, Richard.

    The only issue is wall space :D But I think it will make a good Christmas card for next year. Thanks for looking in, glad you liked the shot.

    Great minds etc - I did look at some Monet paintings on Google Images before posting the shot - the french impressionists did like colourful reflections. Thanks for looking in and your positive comment - much appreciated.

    Cheers, Richard.
