I walked a few feet past the mill in my last post and came across an old stone arched bridge. There was a wonderful reflection of the sky and trees in the water under the bridge but there was a fence that blocked my view. So I decided to make the most of it. The view is looking down the chain link fence. You can see the blurred reflection of the sky and trees as well as the reflection of the vertical lines of gate that runs across the arches. You might also notice the two seed pods on the fence and the reflection of one of the arches. It's easy for me to decipher this strange photo because I took it. I hope it translates well."Weekend Reflections" rules are simple:

this one's super cool, James! Love it! (I accidently put up the wrong link in my first attempt - sorry!)
ReplyDeleteThe result is strange and very graphic..The eyes are getting lost, it gives a kind of vertigo..I like that!
ReplyDeleteVery unique shot! I like it. There appears to be a very small bug near the bottom of the fence as well!!!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought that was a mirrored object doing the reflecting, after reading your post again it is the water! I must have been looking at photos with mirrors doing the reflecting way too much. ;) Love how you can see the grid going across the water. Nice.
ReplyDeleteDizzyingly cool and creative!
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
Superb and fantastic angle.
ReplyDeleteGreat one James.
Have a wonderful weekend.
wow it's amazing, a creative composition James, well done!I'm learning a lot with you!Many thanks,and
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend ,

Neat shot!
ReplyDeleteVery nice picture. I like its feel and colors. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful shot James! So much to look at.
ReplyDeleteDear James, I was working near my computer, waiting for the hour to join your M. Lincky; Here, the time is 5 P.M. to join you. Suddenly, I saw a first name, then a second one..and in less than ten minutes, the list was already long! And I suddenly realised that all over the world , at the same moment, we are many people joining here!And I found that very moving! I know you will say I'm quite sentimental, but this idea of a human chain all through the world seemed fantastic to me.And this is because of YOU! Thank you,and be blessed for that!I just wanted to share my feelings!
ReplyDeleteUnique, James! I'm glad you added the explanation.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very creative photo !
ReplyDeleteThe fence creates a rather unusual dimension in the photo! A dramatic tension is created by the fence detail moving the eye in one direction, while the eye also is attracted to the changing colours within the fence shapes! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteDelightful reflection! Would be even beter from the other side of the fence.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly made the most of it, it's intriguing!
ReplyDeleteWOW what a photo. You have an eye for the beautiful my friend. I love this reflection. It is truly unique :) Have a wonderful Friday :)
ReplyDeleteA very novel approach to the problem of a fence. Well done, the result is quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot James!:-)
ReplyDeleteyou really did make the most of the fence
ReplyDeleteI love this shot
Nifty capture through the fence ... love the added dimension and unique perspective on your reflection shot this week.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Sigh ... I'm not sure why, but your blog doesn't want to accept my Happily Retired Gal Wordpress ID this morning so I'm using my Blogger ID instead but have included the link in my comment. Hope that's okay ;-)
I like your reflection, it is a very interesting idea to see it through the fence and break out of the usual.
ReplyDeleteI like how the fence is in your face - it's an interesting angle.
ReplyDeleteHaving the courage to use what is in the way to get access to your subject brings out the creativity in you. I really like this photo.
ReplyDeleteA great image and a subtle reflection. Another great idea and a shining realization.
ReplyDeleteYou DID make the most of it. Came out great.
ReplyDeleteNice capture and perfect angle.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, James.
That's a very unusual photo but it works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteAlmost abstract..nice mellow feeling- Cheers!
ReplyDeleteinteresting angle
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me James! Love that you captured the seed pods.
ReplyDeleteAnd make the most of it you did James. Powerful image. Instead of the chain link fence being a distraction, it pulls this image together and puts into another plane. High five!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That almost makes you dizzy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks cool, James! You did great!
ReplyDeleteTerrific capture, James and you did great indeed!
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteJames, this is so cool, very clever!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, James! Love it. Great job!
ReplyDeleteCon tu explicación la terminé de entender. El punto de vista me parece muy original, es una buena foto.
ReplyDeleteSaludos!
That's a really dramatic image! Fantastic shot. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I've always loved photos involving chain-link fences, for some reason. Cool capture!
ReplyDeleteJames, you are very good at discovering a beautiful subject.
ReplyDeleteI feel warm weather of the spring.
It translates very well, James. Its an ingenious angel on this intriguing shot.
ReplyDeleteFeeling fenced in ? At least the reflections can get out through the links in the chain link...
ReplyDeleteFinally got my act together to participate here, which is always a pleasure...
An excellent weekend to you !
I like it. The reflection is definitely the focal point but curiosity about the exact location prevails! The fence adds great texture...great color and light...it all adds up to a big "wow!"
ReplyDeleteI think it translates very well. I love this photo's abstract quality. There are so many different aspects that make it so interesting to look at. I also like how one part of the chain link is in focus.
ReplyDeleteNice!
Good eye, it is amazing how trained your eyes become when you start to really practice photography, I wish I had more time to do so... thanks for the nice comment, I glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteSuper shot! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteAn unusual angle that works making the fence as
ReplyDeleteinteresting as what can be seen behind it! Quite
poweful.
Another original reflection. I like the framing of the fence.
ReplyDeletegreat! Happy WR!
ReplyDeleteinteresting shot!
ReplyDeletevery nice, very unusual
ReplyDeleteJames, a very interesting shot.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nice shot. The fence add a little extra!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly unusual photo. This fills my eyes--which is the greatest compliment I can give.
ReplyDeleteI love the textures and the way my eye wanders throughout your picture...
I think it translates beautifully. I love the way the pattern starts out big on the right and disappears into the small infinity to the left to finally get lost in the watery reflection.
ReplyDeleteFantastic capture! Very clever, James!
ReplyDeleteI think the chain link fence adds to the complexity and fun of this image. It's quite mesmerizing and I love the colors too.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't need to translate. It IS beautiful. The gradation of the size of the links, the color, and everything really make this special. I like what you did with the frame - it's so subtle.
ReplyDeleteLight and the colour green of hope, impossible to be fenced in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a "talking reflection" - Chapeau !
Please have a wonderful Sunday.

Great James!
ReplyDeleteStrong graphic . . . interesting depth of field.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is amazing! I'm not sure I even would have NOTICED it! Surely would NOT have thought to go with that angle... I love this!
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot - I love the angle!
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing shot. The fence in the foreground really lends a depth to the composition. I also like the eye shape of the scene behind the fence. Looking out/looking in.
ReplyDeleteLove your shot, James! Very clever! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat else can be said James? The list of comments tell all.... Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHeehee, no kidding? This is the first "reflection in the eye of a tapir" photo??? :) Thanks for your nice comments.
ReplyDeleteNice angle shot.Cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo. The kind I love to take-something unexpected in the shot. I missed WE Reflections, we were busy round here.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the comment you left on my post about forgetting white balance and ISO...I forget ALL THE TIME! And I have a little label I put on the camera to remind me and I still forget. Nothing is worse than getting home and having over exposed photos and thinking 'Why the heck did I shoot at the aperture and ISO on a bright sunny day?' I can't tell from my in camera previews if it is overexposed. I can usually tell if WB is not correct and adjust that which then reminds me to adjust the others.
Clever use of angle.
ReplyDeleteLovely perspective ... draws the eye in to search for hidden details.
