In Front of the Mirror

I have the healthy custom to carry out small strolls in my bicycle, as much in the city as in the field.

One and several times we passed by the same site, and we did not get ourselves to stop to observe and to detail, in many occasions, so natural and calm scenes that they are part of the surroundings that we cross.

This one has been one of them. In a point to the border of the Cauca river, it pleased to find to me me with this solitary place, made up of three old samanes, enjoying the freshness that offers a small lagoon. I observed as their long beards are reflected in the water, and again imagined what they could be affirming, in these first days year, as well as who in front of watches a mirror:

"We are becoming old"

I hope that this place, is to the the liking of all you.

Hi John

Beautiful image, I like the trees with their verticals. The pond in front of the trees is a fine idea that mahes the compo work. I also like the sharpness and overall clarity.

Te felicito John, esta es una magnifica foto, esta muy bien encuadrada y su composicion es estupenda, me gustan mucho los colores naturales y el reflejo. Buen trabajo.
Lo mejor para ti y toda tu familia en este 2008.
Un fuerte abrazo.

It is not a tree that I am familiar with so to me this is a very unusual image. The puddle in the front is providing a wonderful surface for reflections. I see you used fill flash. You used it well as it is not apparent. Well done

Hola John,
un rincón precioso, sin duda.
Me gusta el efecto de estos árboles y sus "barbas", y sus reflejos en la pequeña laguna.
Es una imagen relajante, que inspira mucha tranquilidad y paz, y un lugar idóneo para eso, pasear relajadamente y meditar, soñar, o amar.
Un bello trabajo mi amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hola John.
Fantastica fotografia con unos bellos colores y buenos reflejos en el agua. Un rincon precioso para relajarse y meditar.
Un saludo.

Hola Aprendiz, bellas fotos de mi querida Colombia, buenos colores y nitidez, un saludo desde Bogotá. Felicitaciones por tan lindas fotos.

Olá John

Uma imagem que me atrai pela sua simplicidade e ao mesmo tempo me encanta pelo seu charme. Lindas cores, também gostei do título.
Parabéns.

John,
a very nice view of the little lake reflecting the two trees covered in liquens. Why did you use a fill flash? The objects seems to far away to get any benefit out of it.

Hello John,

Hola John,
Envidia de la buena, el reflejo lo captaste super bien, veo que ahi fue donde utilizaste la luz para tomar la foto. Buena composicion, muy bien trabajada.
Saludos,
Iris

Oh, my gosh, John,
what a stunningly beautiful shot! All those shades of green and the wonderful contrast of the wood, perfect light and contrast, marvelous composition. And the scene itself is just so peaceful and lovely. What a beautiful spot and captured to perfection. Many thanks nad kindest regards,
Shelly

Hello John,
I like your well-balanced composition here and nicely saturated green tones. The overall atmosphere is very peaceful, enhanced in particular by the reflections in the small pond. I'm intrigued by the trees, I assume the hanging "beards" are lichen. It's a nice idea of them watching themselves grow old in the mirror.
Regards
John
