It’s a striking photo with a touch of color that really makes the reflections pop. The symmetry here is great, creating a strong visual balance. Perhaps cropping in a bit on the right could focus the attention even more on the reflections. Boosting the contrast might give it even more depth. It’s a very artistic shot that captures a natural feel. Well spotted, you have a good eye for spotting the extraordinary in the ordinary.
I like it Gill. I think if you moved around the shot when taking it so that the distance between each shade was equidistant it would make it even stronger, this probably means moving a tiny bit closer to center. Nice work anyway.
Thanks. Getting the trees to curve around the lights was main objective. I may reshoot later on and see what happens. Working on my next book “The Flow of Light”. Put my instrumental music on a CD and include in the book.
I like this a lot, well found. I think I prefer the original to the edit, the tonality has a lithprint quality to it. Perhaps a small sqew fix to make the left most light vertical.
Gill, this is an excellent abstract. I love how you incorporated the branches into the lanterns. Everyone provided some great suggestions so I don’t have anything new to suggest. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks to everyone showing interest in this photograph. I’m always looking around. I have become very interested in Tone in Black and White Photography. Having vision and make it happen the best I can.
