This is another shot from my trip to the "thumb" area of MI with bmartuch on Jan.21. I've just been editing all these so I hope it's ok to enter them in here. Soon I'll get out and take some new ones.
As you can see, the ice can be very hard on docks left in the water!
Week 5 #2
I want to go to the little rowboat, push it out on the ice and sit in it. I have no idea why, but I do. I think I feel like the boat feels lonely and I want to keep it company. Makes no sense, I know, but it has obviously reached me.
I know it gets icy cold like this every year up there, so what do the dock owners do after each winter? This is a very interesting find, and I like the composition too since it makes you start at the broken dock and look around at all of the other items in your picture.
I love this mood of this with a most grey tonal range. It is like a "mid key" shot which suites the composition well. I would love to see some up close shots of the boat, docks, water, etc...
A neat picture to wander about in and take in the sights. The dock definitely looks like it's not going to be of much use come spring! Well suited to B&W.
Very pretty! The composition is really appealing, and the photo seems to almost have a glow to it. Just about everything in the photo is an important element. AND, yes, it looks cool there...I was complaining today (only a little), because it only got into the mid 60's;-)
Another summer gone by as winter takes over the beautiful land and makes things stand still in its place. Brrrrss..to cold! but I am here in the upper part of wyomimg freezing my tailend off here.
Hey Terry, don't worry, we won't ask for exif data if we like your shot ;)
As Bud said, it sure looks cold and barren there. The iced up water looks painterly (am sure thats a real word) and the foreground water leads you nicely into the image. There is a bit of haloing (is this a real word?) around the trees.
Yes, please post all the pics from this trip you have. They are so good! I love this wintery, cold scene. It is RAW and looks untouched, which gives it a feeling of aloneness and a place where you could do some serious thinking. The contrast on the water is so pretty. I'm certainly no expert on black and white, but I've heard they are always better if you have pure whites and pure blacks, which you have done so beautifully here!
