Thanks Stu, ... Larry too ...

Yeah, ..that was a total luck shot --- literally. ....and yes, ..it is kind of confusing to look at ...

I took a bunch of others shots of the same thing, ... they all sucked so I kept on moving. When I was walking back I saw the water again and decided to do one more. The light had changed so I used a different angle. What makes it so strange to look at is that there's a lot of light above the tree canopy and it's quite dark below (a pretty standard forest configuration .. ) I guess I just got lucky with the angle and it blended the two together perfectly.

And as the say ........ Sometimes, ...even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

btw: ... very nice shots yourself. So, ..what's this Ring of Brodger ? ... I won't google it, ... I'll just wait on you.

well it's a Neolithic stone circle, around 4500 years old or so.........nice place when there's a full moon.

Hervé: Maybe so.. but still, you know that you have to make the best of what you got that's the trick. That poor little worm, you should have taken it to the animal hospital and had them curing it so the bastard worm started calling around loll

Chris: Very cool shot it almost looks like a doubleexposure in a way. Cleverly captured and composited i like it! are those leafs or stones visible under the watersurface ?

Glebe: Those are pretty good, first one would be nice if shot as hdr with some tonal adjustments or just converted to black/white with noise added to it nice work.

Keep the great photographs coming!

Thanks Max, ... they are leaves that sunk to the bottom.

I know it looks composited, ..but it's just a single exposure. Again, ..just a fortunate set of circumstances.

[Maximus3D]

Leafs, oh cool. It kinda look like stones at the bottom of the lake too. It's not easy shooting outdoors and get good results, i mean in a studio you can set things up as you want but outdoors you gotta work with what you're given and capture it as best as you can. Which you did very well
