Bowing Birches

I bet you are thinking of a lot of possibilities for isolating parts of this scene in closer shots. I was thinking the same thing as I paddled by. I did shoot some closer shots, but I kind of like this "first impression" view.

After the snow storm last weekend, we had a lot of bowing birches and thought about how I would capture them. Took a few shots but nothing note worthy on my part. I like this Wayne. Nice color and light here. I wish the water was a bit calmer but I guess we can't always get what we want.

Beautiful colors. I like the slight distortion of the reflection by the ripples. IMO, it gives the image a rather peaceful feel. Probably because of memories this scene provokes in me. Nice composition.

I love the reflections in this one but wish the water were a bit calmer.
