Reflections

Yesterday I showed you the wonderful Birds, Butterflies and Dragonflies I found at Newtown Saltmarsh, on the Isle of Wight.   As I walked on the boardwalk to the hide, I took these photographs and have experimented a bit with them.  

Have you got a favorite, just one?
























I hoped you enjoyed seeing these photographs and I would love to know your favorite and why.

Thank you for visiting.

    3. HI ER My priority of blogs that I visit are with Nature content and as my time is now very limited, I reply firdly to those ones and alhtough your posts are very interesting and scenic they must come second to my nature interest.

  3. I prefer the colour photos - which is odd, because often I don't, finding that moods are better encapsulated in black and white.
    Today? The second last one, of the tree trunk and the bottle. I love the contrast between the vibrant green and the weathered wood. And the water and the fence just add to it.

  7. Well spotted photo opportunities here Margaret. My preference is for #4, it looks like some sort of sinister mask!
    Can I ask...how are you doing your B&W images, are you just converting the colour image to B&W?
    The reason I ask is that I think they could be improved if you could give them a wider range of tones and maybe a touch more contrast...[;o)

  8. I prefer the B&W rotated image of the first shot. It is tranquil yet interesting enough to print and have on a wall.

  10. Hi Margaret
    I liked images 1&3 but felt the reflection gets a bit "lost" in the third image but it's still a good image. I liked image 4 the b&w shot as it made me look twice which is always the key objective fro an image, I personally feel.
    In the next series of reflection images I liked 8 the most because of the blurring effect, however they're all equally as good.
    But my favourite is image 11 with the bottle stuck on the tree, I feel the b&w image robs the image of it's impact as you can't see from the colour image what a lovely environment you're in and how out of place the bottle is..if that makes sense.

  14. I couldn't pick just one as a favorite. I really like the reflections you've captured, but the tree limbs in the last two pictures are marvelous as well.
