Winter reflections

January 8, 2016 by Mike Powell

Some mornings when I am out with my camera at Huntley Meadows Park, I am simply entranced by the colors, shapes, and patterns of the reflections of the trees in the water. For extended periods of time I will become lost in the ever changing abstract world of reflected beauty.

Any wildlife that happens to come into the frame is a bonus.

Love the texture of your photos, the blurring, the patterns, colours, and the realistic in the last photo. Beautiful.

Hi Mike – reflections are mesmerising. I particularly like the wobbly lines in your second image.

I like the combination of the squiggly and abstract, with the clarity and tangible — a wonderful balance, Michael.

  Thanks, Jet. That desire for a sense of balance was one of the main reasons why I included all three images. At the time I did the posting, I was really loving the darker, abstract one, but realized that the one with the flying goose would appeal to many (and this morning, it may well be my favorite of the three).
