Swamp Ice, Brambles

Comment by jmritz:
And in summer this is most likely a beautiful scene. The sky reflected off the swamp water, flowers and birds. Now a chill breeze, the swamp smell even in winter, waiting for someone with camera in hand to find it's hidden beauty that still lurks. Someone with a discerning eye. Someone like Bear-Music.

All kidding aside, this is very nice Robt.

Love all the different shadows on the ground, and the tones are really wonderful.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Looks like someone got their Silver Efex Pro 2! I find this image to be thoroughly disorientating, that's a good thing - I like images that confound. The textures are obviously very well developed and I suspect this has turned out just as you wanted.

Critical stuff: Although I admire the image, I don't like it - I tend to dislike crunchy looking foliage and is uber-ccrunchy!

Overall: Nicely made but not for me.

Great tones. Mysterious texture and compelling image made by this handling and treatment. An extension from reality to the otherworld, a glimpse of what nature does when no one's looking, of how twisted life can be under that special spotlight. Great stuff.

Great deep tones in the water, creates a rich background. The Swan is nice and clear, and I like the water drop on its beak.
