  1. Wow – very artistic and refreshingly different to the reeds I know. Well done!

  4. I like the changing colours here with the green(ish) morphing into black(ish) against the blue.
    I tried something similar with trees (not posted) and found that selecting the right group of trees took as much effort as getting the right exposure duration and smooth movement!

    • Thanks Noeline. There were fresh green shoots coming amongst the brown reeds from last year’s growth and the blue sky gave the water a good colour. This was a fun experiment for me. I’m quite pleased with the result. I’ve had a go. It was all very much trial and error though. Thank heavens for digital, it gives us so much freedom not worrying about the cost of film when playing around like this.. :-)

  5. I love this, Adrian! The colors and hint of movement in the reeds is beautiful in its abstraction.

  11. Adrian, I can see this hanging on my wall! Not like you – but I knew immediately it was you. The colours are there and the feeling of natural completeness. Beautiful.
