a touch of color
paired cattails

Inspired in large part by Illuci's photo who showed me just how pretty reeds can be, whose photo, of course, is infinitely superior to this one. But oh well, I tried.

I like very much the composition and the light! A gracious diagonal next to the two vertical stems, and the blurred watersurface at the background, beautiful! I don't find mine superior to yours, yours is different because of its PoV (more close up). It resembles another picture I made last autumn, you can see it here, but yours is more elegant due to its diagonal.

How crisp and clear -- very good color balance too.

so sharp and so crisp; and on the risk of being called a romantic, it seems to me that these reeds looks so proud and beautiful, content in life...

You have done Illuci's reed photo justice; yours is now the standard of measure for all reed shots.

It is a lovely composition with interesting light! The play of lines makes it most attractive! And I like reeds very much!
