Better crop…
Another phone photo from a couple years ago when I lived in snow country in the North East, just a reflection of trees with ice starting to form in a pond close to where I used to live.
Anything
Is this a composite: No
Phone and converted to black and white and cropped to focus on the reflections.
Cool shot, Vanessa. And the B&W works really well. I think I would crop the top land/ice out. Seems to me to make a stronger image. Nice to see this.
Yes, Vanessa, that is perfect. I really like how the reflection is not “anchored” to the far ground. It helps to make this a really nice, almost abstract scene. Wonderful.
Thanks, I was thinking it kind of looked abstract too.
Nice abstract reflection Vanessa, the choice of using B&W was a great idea for the graphic nature of the abstract.
I think @David_Bostock’s suggested crop is a small change that makes a huge difference. It not only eliminates some bright areas along the top edge, but not showing the shoreline removes an element of reality, which also enhances the abstract look.
Great idea to convert this image to a B&W Vanessa. @David_Bostock 's crop really takes this up a couple of notches by eliminating the distraction from the shoreline, making it much cleaner looking, and turning it into an even more abstract form of art. Well seen.
