Fading everything to black and blue
Shatter in the blink of an eye
You keep sailing right on through
Pale under the blistering sky

I went to a park nearby my hometown. It was a beautiful day but it was already late. I took a lot of pictures but than I came to this lake. Don't know why but sometimes water hynotizes me. The little waves, the beautiful colours of th sky reflecting in the water. So that's I why I wanted it to share with you. Maybe you feel the same...

Thanks for dropping by,
Alex

Very nice - a simple shot with simple subject but great composition and metering.
Congratulations

Hoi Alex,
Prachtige eerste inzending voor 2007. Het water is prachtig in beeld gebracht, het lijkt wel oilie, zo diep is de donkerblauwe kleur. Mooi de diagonaal met de paaltjes, hierdoor is het een aantrekkelijke foto.
Uiteraard nog de beste wensen voor 2007!

Hey Alex,

I can understand your fascination by water; I feel exactly the same way. There's something about it that makes it beautiful and somehow quite easy to capture, in all it's forms.

About your image: well captured and good colors and lighting.
Good and sharp, almost magic.

Cheers!
Anneke

Hi Alex,
Beautiful image, great compo, love the contrast between the smooth water and the pieces of wood.
Good choice of title too.

Oh my, this is beautiful! Excellent composition in its simplicity. The lines and shapes in the water are great.
I might have run this through the shadows/highlights tool (my favourite tool lately) to get a little more detail in the poles without blowing the water at the top.
Well seen, Alex!
All the best / Eric

Simple but really effective shot - water looks almost metallic and the comparison between the posts and the water is superb.
Thanks for sharing
