      This is a great shot Pat. Bridges the gap between real and abstract beautifully. Well done!

        Reflection Rotated. The folded brown reed leaf created an appealing triangle, but flipped into portrait takes on an almost alien quality.

          I love this! Very creative abstract shot. 👏

            That’s a very nice image. Crisp reflections and colours given added interest with the concentric ripples. 👍

              Great image. The filaments are so vibrant and look like cotton threads.

                Lovely and sharp. I really like the simplicity of the composition too. Great capture!

                  Hi Jasenka,

                  Thanks for this comment. The vignette certainly hasn’t been popular with this shot, and on reflection, I completely agree! Cheers!

                    Hi Tobie

                    Thank you for your comments. I certainly take your point about the foreground interest, although in this case I intentionally kept the composition minimal, intending to feature the horizontal character of the sea, waves and sand, as the only three elements of the image. You may well be right about the colour, as they were strong in this image before conversion, and it may suit the minimal composition better that way. I did it in mono as it was a high contrast shot and I was keen to try b&w having read the article. I appreciate the cc Tobie, thanks.

                      Hi Beth

                      Thanks for your comment. The vignette was a mistake in this image, I think. It is a common theme in the other comments too. All very useful feedback. Many thanks.

                        Hi Beth,

                        Many thanks for your comments, much appreciated. Good advice there on the vignette, thank you. Your right, when you consider the horizontal nature of the subject, it makes a lot more sense to compliment this with a vignette that doesn’t affect the sides of the image (if indeed a vignette is wise at all in this instance). I’ll also look at whether it needs straightening, though I did do this I think (perhaps not carefully enough! Cheers!

                          It’s a great composition, and subject. The colours are striking and I think the reflections in the ceiling add to the framing. Very nice image. I’m curious what it would look like in mono too?
