Beautiful Reflection

Reflection it is.
Reflection of you.
To the surroundings.
Described it as beauty.
Beauty of things around.
Around which surrounds us.
Surrounds us to be surrounding.
Surrounding of the beauty to be.
Add us to the beauty.
Through presence.
Presence we have.
Think us of beauty as something.
Something which is visible.
Make us a mistake.
Making of the beauty of outside as true.
True are things which are invisible.
Invisible through eyes.
As remained they untold.
Untold by the feeling.
Feeling of being beautiful to the world.
World around us.
World being True........
True through unseen eyes.
Things portray beauty.
Beauty of what's in the heart.
Through us.
Unseen it is as beautiful it is.
Through you and me.
Beauty of things being so.
So as they reflect beauty.
Beauty with an impression.
Impression of perfection.
Perfection with lasting impression.

I like the graphism.
Maybe a bit more sky (vertical compo maybe) would have make it even more powerful.


have a great weekend,

The bright colour here is stunning Mr. GB. Your reflections perfectly captured, we are not used to seeing this colour of water so that makes it even more interesting. I love the little line of houses in the BG and the people in the long grass. Lots of interesting things to enjoy in this one. Excellent.

Wanda

Hello Hansie

What a beautiful scene. Good colour conrasts with this view and excellent reflections. In contrast to your other critiques i personally would have liked less sky and more water.. and for the life of me I cannot explain why. Just one of those instinct feelings. I love the circular ripple in the centre of the water too, just a tiny added detail that makes all the difference. Nice contrastin frame and interesting notes too my friend.

Have a great weekend

TFS regards Helen

Beautiful reflection, indeed, Hans. Also I like the various colours and the relaxing atmosphere of the place that you captured very well.

Best regards,
Sorina

Hello Hans,

This doesn't follow the rule of thirds but in this shot, that doen't matter one bit!
The slight diagonal on the river bank gives a nice tilt to the composition and increases the interest.
The contrast in colours between the two halves of the shot is quite dramatic, but the reflections link the two nicely!

I like this very much!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
I have just had a little browse on your blog. Amazing scenes! It makes me feel very insular!

Excellent capture ! Very well composed, and the details, sharpness and lighting are superb.
Best wishes,
Achim

Wonderful.
Excellent capture and entry to the theme.
I know that's the real water color but I just wanted to play with it, so I made a WS for you.
Beautiful

Beautiful green & blue sky reflected in the muddy waters. I like this one Hans & like both poems. :} Don

Wat een aparte reflectie.
Totaal verschillende kleuren.
Mooie warme kleuren en dan het drabberige bruin. Apart gezicht
Groetjes

Hoi Hans,

Tja, wederom een zeer mooie landschapsfoto en deze past perfect in de "friday theme".
Kan maar 1 kritiekpuntje vinden...hij is geschoten met een Nikon.

Vriendelijke groeten,

Edwin

Weer een schitterende inzending Hans.
De blauwe lucht en de groene velden zijn weer schitterend, evenals de weerspiegeling. Alléén de kleur van het water is nou niet erg uitnodigend.......
Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

(onze afspraak komt met rasse schreden dichterbij.)

Ik moet je gelijk geven Hans :-)

Technisch : had liever geen vluchtpunt gezien,
gewoon horizontale lijn. Maakt niet veel uit !
Zou het ook zo posten !

Groetjes
Jan

Hi Hans,

Beautiful picture of this lovely landscape . .
I like to see the combination of green and brown river . . half half persentation . . clean and dirt . .
Reflection is clearly presented . .
Well done my friend . .
Currently I am at Pataya, but will be back tomorrow . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Many thanks for your kind words on A view from my heart .

Beautiful capture as always Hans, lovely details, good detail in the muddy water. Great management of levels and saturation.

In all honesty sir I'm not crazy about the frame ... it has drawn as much of my attention as the photograph itself, and while it shows PP brilliance on your part ... I just don't know. ;)
