One from the local pond.

Pretty Ian, you've got the local pond well sussed out now.

(It may take folks a little while to spot that images are being posted back over here again... so be prepared for a few less comments again :wink:)

Nice image Ian

I particularly like the water quality and the low point of view

I agree, that POV is just dead on! Great capture and good to see it on the "new" forum.
Best wishes

lovely composition and pose Ian, nice eye contact too. It looks a little lacking in contrast, though I'm not on my calibrated home monitor so it may be this monitor that is out.

Lovely image Ian. The tuftie really 'pops' from the pastel colours in the bg. :toast:

Agree - a classic shot from your pond.

Looks a tad noisy on my screen though for some reason ?
Posted by Ian Mason on November 16, 2011 at 3:15 PM
Thanks all

Graham

Where are you seeing the noise? Maybe something to do with processing for web.

Looks ok to me Ian.
I don't mind reflections when they are this blurred!

Spot on image. Comments reflect monitor variation which will always exist.

Hi Ian - maybe it's my screen (laptop at the moment), but it seems to be in the blacks ?

Great pov and isolation of the subject. A classic Mason offering :toast:
