Ok well I fully expect this to get slated but after toiling in the heat for my art getting stung by nettles etc etc I figured I may as well submit it.

I had an image in my head and this is as close as I got to pulling it off. Overall I think its ok but I do worry what the voters will think.

Hope it doesn't drop my site average too much!

1st entry with my 28mm series E Nikon lens and Hoya R72 filter. Lots of fun trying new things. Viewing it now it looks soooo much better big. It is ruined by the small size. Ho Hum!

Funny, I thought I'd commented on this one. What I really like about this is the foreground blur - whether that is a leaf in front of the camera or simply the reflection in the moving water, it creates a sense of depth and perhaps a bit of mystery. I suspect, however, that it may off-put some viewers, who will spend too much effort trying to figure out what it is rather than if they like it or not. The green toning suits this quite nicely. Conveys a cool, peacefulness. Composition is pretty good but that may be a bit of a weak area - form a conventional photography standpoint, it doesn't lead anywhere. From my standpoint, that's fine, but others may disagree.
