I obviously thought that this leaf floating on the still water at the edge of the lake was worth photographing, but I’m very pleased with the resulting picture. At the time I though about using a polariser to remove reflections and increase the visibility of the lake-bed, but I’m so glad I didn’t. The reflected clouds are what make the photograph for me.

Beautiful photo — You were right not to use a polarizer.

That is possibly the most perfect image I have seen in a long while

Thanks Silverfox. It was something of an impulse shot (although I took two shots, so I guess I must have thought there was something worth seeing), so I’m really pleased with the way it turned out.
I’d forgotten about it until I saw the negs. 🙂

Lovely image. The apparently negative space adds to the initial impact of the picture but then the eye adjusts slightly and the clouds swim into focus. All in all a very satisfying image. Dave

Thanks Dave. I’m happy you like it. It was one of those fortuitous and unplanned photos that make themselves known every now and then.
