this photograph is taken when i was coming back from a walk on the firetrail .. i could've crawled thru the barbed wire and taken a more close-up shot of the dam, but i was in a hurry and just snapped off a couple ...
the kids from next door have this surfboard and they play around in the dam in summer ... it looks a bit weird having a surfboard where there'll never be any waves ... that's assuming we dont have an earthquake or something ..
The blues and the greens have been processed so wonderfully and softly (without losing any of their vibrancy) that it feels like you are stepping into a dream or a fairytale
The abandooned surfboard (which looks a bit like a punt) adds a bit of a discordant or ominous air, its standing so still on the water you cant help wondering what has happened to the owners and whether this dream is going to change into something a lot more worrying
Your pictures blow me away! I love the blue/green colors in the background & the red/yellow in the front, it really adds depth. Thanks again for everything Roz! You've really given me a kick to learn everything I can about editing & I've downloaded some free versions of noise ninja & neat image, as well as some other plug-ins & it's like a whole new editing window has opened for me. I am loving playing around with all of it. You ROCK (and so do your pictures :)!
Looks like a dream, Roz - beautiful blues and greens. And maybe there's a beast living in the water and it makes waves when nobody is looking. So its good to be prepared with a surfboard. The frame really works here and I like the integration of the photo title. Good stuff!!
Beautiful soft light, and I love how the blue shadows deep in the trees, and the bright glow at water's edge. I would not have known that was a surfboard -- it just isn't an expected item in this scene.
