I find it strangely beautiful that the camera with its inherent clarity of object and detail can produce images that in spite of themselves offer possibilities to be more than they are. A photograph of nothing very important at all, nothing but an intuition, a response, a twitch from the photographer.
Joel Meyerowitz said that
Oh boy. I absolutely LOVE this image. I so appreciate images like this, as Meyerowitz had said, that or of something so simple yet there is so much more to see both in its abstractness but also for what the viewer takes away. Love the quote and love your image. I’ve been thinking a great deal about this similar notion and, on the weekend, wrote a blog post along these lines. I didn’t think it was suitable for today so I posted a simpler one — until I have a chance to hone my original thoughts a bit more.
I totally agree with the quote as I always love a minimalistic composition, as they seem to evoke more power in its presentation, just like what you have presented. That lone piling grabs our attention. I love reflections that reveal what is outside the frame. Splendid composition!
Beautiful reflections and textures. A lovely art piece.
A simple composition like this is one of the most difficult to get right and you have nailed it
Exactly! Like you, I enjoy turning plain photos into something more. Nicely done here.
the texture and reflections on the surface hint at so much
Well seen, Sherri!! Nice quote!
That is such a wonderful shot. The standing wood is so separate from everything else.
As to Joel Meyerowitz, he is great. I had a book of his work once upon a time. Don’t know who has it now. That happens when you lend things without remembering who has them.
Excellent quote.
That quote is so true. I love the reflections. There is more to see in what appears to be a plain photo.
There is not nothing here. It’s a picture loaded with information in its gently rippling reflections
We can learn a lot of the “nothing” from each of us, Sherri, can’t we!
A beautiful photo result, a fine composition and beautiful tree reflections.
Attractive photography.
oh i agree!!!!! beautiful picture, beautiful quote that really speaks to my heart!!
En toute simplicité, c’est charmant.
So special and beautiful to see
Another excellent quote that goes perfectly with your image.
