Dug through some oldies last night and found this one. Shot this deep within Hell's Half Acre within the Western Slough area southeast of Tallahassee. I liked the geometric patterns and the way they reflected.

Comments and critiques always welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for looking.

This is outstanding!! Love the strong graphics of the image. I might consider cloning out the white reflection bottom left and its match top left? But very well done, Bill.

The geometry is great, Bill, and going b&w lets the linear shapes dominate. It a fun image to look at. Nicely seen.

The geometry of this is amazing, Bill. It is a beautiful natural structure and you have captured it well. I really like it. Chet

Well seen Bill. I like it a lot. I agree about cloning out the bright snippet of grass and reflection or darkening them some.

Very neat.

This is excellent, Bill. It reminds me of a mobile piece in the NOMA sculpture garden.

This must be some kinda Jeddi mind trick. Love the shapes and the comp is really cool. Agree with the cloning suggestion, Bill, but this is excellent.

I can tell, this wasn't easy to do, it really takes a good eye. I like this very much, and the B&W complements it beautifully. Excellent work Bill.

Oh my gosh, this is wonderful, Bill. Looks like a highrise construction taking place. I always enjoy those reflective images where it takes some real study to figure out where the item being reflected ends and the reflection starts. This one is excellent for that eye-mind-twist.......

I have always liked 'reed calligraphy' images, and this one is no exception--it is lovely, Bill

I agree with Harley regarding his cloning suggestion.

A amazing find.....
The symmetry is really cool and the B & W PP is really good.
I might add maybe just a touch more contrast?

I agree with the geometry, the small thumbnail caught my eye with its complexity.

Bill, I love this shot! You really made all these patterns work so well within your composition. I also think the b&w was a perfect choice. Excellent!
