About Sorry, couldn't resist it!!

I was attracted to this image by the amazing patterns created by the reeds' reflections in this shallow water.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments!!

Riny, thank you so much for your kind comment ~ now and always! I was distressed to hear that you had left Usefilm, so I went to your portfolio and found, alas!, that all your beautiful photo's had gone! Is it true that you are leaving Usefilm. If so, are you able to share the reasons. I have always valued your input to the site ~ both in terms of your wonderful photo's and your generous comments. I would be most grateful if you could e-mail me a short note to let me know your feelings.
My best regards, Chris

This has a similar effect on me to the one you say my 360-degree panoramas give you. Hard to get my mind around it... I notice the reflections, then try to see where the surface of the water is, and whether all the stalks I am looking at are above it or under it. Perplexing... There also seems to be some dust or something on the surface of the water so that it can show a shadow. Shadows on water are also rather rare. Altogether a fascinating image, Chris!

Beautiful isolation and reflection of your bird, Chris. The pattern of the reeds, create a fine partnership, for your colourful, and finely detailed subject. You've managed to create the illusion of there being no water suface. Very good.

Regards, Colin

Chris beautiful image. I think the patterns provide a great backdrop to your subject. The highlights seems a little hot. With a little Photoshop work, if you're open to it, you could burn the highlights to help focus the viewers eye even more on your subject. Very striking image.

Very interesting background how it all blends together. Can even see the feet in the shadow. Great work Chris. Just takes the right eye to see these things. Don.
