Very kind, Greti - thanks!!

Yes, well done. The layering of shadow/reflection, floating leaves, submerged leaves . . . the contrasting textures of water, rotting post and moss with . . . is that . . . ice? Wonderful texture.

Hi Pennington, Thanks again for your kind worss! No, not ice quite yet - I think it must just be the highlights of the reflection. It was a day of quite intense light, given that we are in late Autumn.

Thanks again,

Sarah

Superb shot excellent study. Low light to makes for crisper image and colour

Thanks again, Peter! I was there over the weekend & the post was totally under water, so I just caught it! I took this with my Fuji, & i have to say I'm reaklly happy with the way it handles low light. I have it on the Fujichrome colour setting, but to me the colours aren't at all exaggerated.

Thanks again!

Very many thanks, Kojak, for the visit & the kind comment! In the low light conditions, the moss almost glows.

Thanks again!

I just love the way you have captured this image Sarah. The Oak leaves submerged belie the reflected leaves of a Beech(I think)tree above.

Sarah Graham, on February 19, 2008, said:

Epi, siento mucho no haber contestado a tu comentario tan amable - gracias por tu visita!

AXOTA: thanks, Jim! It was a real layer soup of leaves, that's true! My favourite element is the reflection of leaves still to fall. It's one of my favourites - thanks for notiging it, both of you!

Saludos y abrazos, greetings & hugs,

Sarah
