I shot at this tree in a cloudy winter day.
A black to white reflected gradient has been added to the shot in order to add some depth to the sky ( and to its reflection ). Version 1 : |

A perfect example of knowing when a subject should be directly in the center! I prefer the second to the first, but whatever the difference is, it seems to be subliminal because I can't consciously pick it out. What was it that iacopo suggested?
This is a beautifully serene photograph. --Barbara |

Very nice photo.
![]() Surprisingly, I'll be the first to say I prefer the first one. To me, the picture is a bit of a yin-yang situation where you have the upper part being totally organic with 'chaotic' shapes and the lower part being quite man-made, with the perfect lines of the pool. To me, the fence, just like the reflection in the pool, brings to each part a piece of the opposite, like the dots in a yin-yang 'logo'. I like 'em both, though, and I think I can see where the edited one would have more balance, no matter what I remarked above. ![]() |

I much prefer the second with the fences removed, they were a subtle distraction. I like the starkness of the scene with the pool lines creating a visual break. The work as usual, simply beautiful.

Thanx everybody for your appreciation and for your comments.
PaulPosition, definitly one of the nicest comment I ever got ! Thanx. I had no ying-yang in mind when I took this shot nor when I edited it but it has been a real pleasure reading this interpretation of yours ! Thanx again. Yes photosbyvito, iacopo's suggestion was to remove the poles. In any case here's the requested link : http://www.hertz-ladiges.com/modules...opic&t=434 |
