Water ripples with a gentle breeze, appearing both energized and calm. An abstracted mix of colours. from deep greens to the bright blues of reflected sky, contrast beautifully with the golden yellow of fallen leaves.
I enjoy photographing the surface of lakes, rivers or oceans in this way, bringing focus to the flowing movement of an element that changes moods with the scattering of the light. It is especially satisfying when the tonality of the scene yields both a sense of depth alongside a lightness in the way the various angles of the waves create liquid reflections as they move.
This print is well-suited to any space to which one would like to bring a sense of serenity. The overall mood conveyed is quiet and contemplative, while the captured motion of the water serves as a gentle reminder that nothing is certain but change.
