A good catch and good to look at.

ReplyDeleteLike a seamonster crawling to the surface. A lovely post with awesome reflections.
ReplyDeleteSuch good contrasts!
ReplyDeleteGreat monochrome but I like it because of the reflection. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely - looks rather abstract.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty mono reflections! I had wanted to tell you how lovely your header was anyway!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
That's fabulous Carver! Love the contrast and the stillness of the reflection.
ReplyDeleteNo turtles bathing here yet..That makes for a lovely black and white.. I have to take more time to try this....Michelle
ReplyDeleteIt seems a bit inane simply to say 'interesting' - but it is. It draws one in, makes one peer and wonder.

Actually, a sense of desolation overwhelms me when I look at this, as if the turtle was fortunate to have finally found a little respite from its struggles.
ReplyDeleteHah! I nearly missed it! What a deliciously start image you have composed for us this week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's calling for help!
ReplyDeleteGreat Mono post.
Kisses from Nydia.
Aw, that's cute - little turtle surveying the big world.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning reflection shot. The mono treatment adds drama to it!
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDeleteSimple and beautiful in b/w!
ReplyDeleteLove the sparse beauty of this photo.
ReplyDeleteZen and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I do appreciate your comments. Yes, the light. It just occurred to me that I saw turtles sunning on logs in Emerald lake on my last visit. I didn't have a long lens (only my 85 mounted on my other camera loaded with color film) with me so I shot one with a wide angle and you can't even see the turtles. There were three in a row, Mama, Papa and the baby.
ReplyDeleteMakes you wish you had waders so you could get even closer but then you would destroy the scene. And we never want to do that. You got the turtle just right.
Beautiful reflections!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your flowers in the sky too. :-)
Love your header image.
Sweet catch!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great in b&w!
Great contrast! Beautifully composed.
