As simple so beautiful, Jean.
The black contrasting the white, the round contrasting the straight, the triangle of the reflected clouds - very well seen and done.

Wonderful composition, I like very much this kind of approach in photography. Great job putting those three cloud reflections opposed to the three pieces of wood. Great use of the rule of thirds. Very well done.

A superb imahe Jean Michel. From he thumnails, I was really wondering what it was, but I liked it. Now I see, and I must admit it's very ceative. Bravo.

This is an amazing composition, jean Michel, and one of my favorites. You used the reflection in a very clever way, and you framed it very nice. B/w could work gret, too.
I like it very much, but I made a WS.

Oh, is this how the Seine looks, quite different from my picture yesterday. Your composition here is a masterpiece Jean Michel. Very very well done!

Very good composition Jean Michel. So simpel and strong with the three dark objects and the three cloud reflections. I never get tired of these simpel settings. Well done.

Superbe composition. Les 3 troncs dont la cassure au niveau du reflet donnent un effet de mouvement décéléré splendide. Le fait qu'il soit placé dans un coin en non au centre les met encore mieux en valeur.
Belle composition. Bravo.

A very calm shot, i like how the stumps increase gradually in size, and the perfect refection and blue hue in this shot. Very well captured.

Hi Jean Michel, One thing I really like about this photo is that the peaceful "zen-like" feel to the image is upset just a little by the sharpness of the objects, so it has a slightly edgy feel to it. Very nice!

Very powerful and very inspired, Jean Michel. I feel the inspiration from Monet there. You really go for the essence of those three poles and the reflections in the water.
Have you noticed that if you turn it 90 degrees the it looks like three birds and three clouds - the way we used to draw birds in school? Simple brushstrokes of course.
Fires the imagination, it does.

Simple attributes, but a special effect !
Nice work, Jean Michel

Et un !Et deux! Et trois zéros! Je crois plutot que c'es trois ( au moins) sous zéro) Une composition fort dépouillée mais qui sonne juste. Avec un zeste de mystère pour accompagner le tout. Une excellente réalisation désarmante de simplicité et de charme

Great composition. It's amazing what can be done with the most simple of subjects.
