Shot from a bridge overlooking my favorite local lake... and converted to B&W in processing. Thanks for looking and any comments/suggestions.

Great abstract, Bill. Love this in B/W. Quite a puzzle, I'm guessing high water since there is no visible shoreline.

Well done, Bill, with the reflections as sharp as the trees. Looks to me like going b/w plays a critical role in turning this into an abstract.

:toast: Gotta love these abstracts where the tree reflections are hard to see where they start and stop from the base of the actual tree. Excellent.

Thank you! I'll do a "reveal" later, and what I did to print/frame it, etc. Much appreciated.

I love this, Bill. The reflections give it a depth that keeps me interested. :cool: :cool:

Thanks David and Mike! Please view the larger image. The water that flows underneath the bridge I was on and into the lake, inundated the land that the trees sit on. Thus, I saw the perfect chance to make something sort of mesmerizing. I print it on metal (paper) and with a metal frame. It's currently in a national exhibit, selected by the Lane Curator of Photographs at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It's being displayed in upstate NY as a result.
