Reflexible, a photo from Parana, South

Photographer's Note

Waters...who don´t like waters? Sea waters, river waters, lake waters... anywhere, anyway...
waters are a very interesting subject to photographers and sometimes where there are nothing really nice to shot, waters inspire it.
It happened to me here, when I found this few water plants and the rose colours of the sky. It was the unique possibility of picture I could have at that moment, because it was too dark to my little camera and there was nothing interesting to make at least a silhouette. I found light on the lake reflexions and I´ve used the flash to help me with the plants. Hope you like it.
Regards,
Zeca

Hi Jose,
What a great idea and capture. I like the red reflection in the water and still the green colour on the leaves.
A very serene picture, high impact and great mood.
Regards, Henk

Hello Jose, this is a beautiful sunset reflection. The colour is rich and it ripples on the water's surface like oil. The reeds add some nice detail.

Bom-dia José, bonito efeito de reflexão, e emprega-o do charco é de um resultado mais que tido êxito, exellent degradado de tonalidade para um grafismo surrealista, à cor digna que faria um grande pintor impressionniste, bem cordialmente

Oi, Zeca! Essa foto, muito bonita, parace obra de arte japonesa. Belos tons e reflexos! Parabéns! Abraços! Miguel.

Hi Jose,
Wonderful colorful composition.
The art of photography is to capture fugacious moments.
Here you have to benefit from a very beautiful sky and very beautiful reflections in water. Two elements which often offer beautiful images to us.
TFS,
Corinne

Perfecto!

Psychedelic and magic ! The fram is excellent, the contrast between green and orange tones very good and, most of all, the general mood is lovely strange. Very well thought and composed.

Hello Zeca, This is truely a unique shot. The colors and reflections are magnificent. I like the border too. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers, Debbie.

Gierlinski (948) 2006-08-20 16:42

Hi Jose,
Thank you for your comment on the amazed-or-maybe-frightened girl. I came to see your work and this is the first picture that popped into my eye. Very good job, I admit. Orange clouds reflect perfectly. Well done.
One question: Did you enlit and saturated the leaves selectively a bit or is it natural??
All the best,
Michal

lucasdasilva (557) 2006-08-27 8:56

This is one of the veri best I have seen, such colours I can only imagine. Good expoure and good reflections. I am happy to take it to a landmark and to my list.
Lucas

dliu216005 (214) 2006-09-07 22:06

Amaniman (1122) 2006-09-15 17:28

Cette image fonctionne magnifiquement.
Les herbes placées au tiers supérieur, les nuages n' apparaissants que par leur reflet et ces couleurs chaudes en font une image simple mais rudement efficace.

pady (4800) 2006-09-21 14:36

Hello Jose,
I just saw this picture today and I found it very beautiful. Composition is great, herbs are well placed and colours is magical.
Congratulations
Pierre-André

Emiel_Skyfreak (3002) 2006-10-03 16:07

Great composition. Lovely colour on the plants in the water. And the reflection of the sky (without photographing the sky itself!) is marvellous. Great idea.
Excellent control of exposure, saturation and sharpness.
Very easy to watch photo..it's very calm.
The use of the flash to illuminate the plants was a good idea, I guess they would have turned out black otherwise, now only the reflections are black, which gives a nice contrast.
TFS, lovely view.

a_i_ren (1315) 2006-10-21 14:12
