Waterlogged

I liked the comment from Ruth's dad. The wettest drought we've ever had!

Infrared black and white so its gone a bit surreal. But I quite liked the effect.

[Damian Powell]

Superb! +Fav

[Emily]

love ti! it does look a bit surreal but it adds so much to the drama! love it!

[Shanne]

beautiful reflections and sky - and yes, I'm in what's still drought area and the streams and ponds are winter full - really doesn't look very drought like to me, and it's damn cold

[Judith Greenwood]

Why oh why did they declare a drought - we all knew this would happen! Fantastic shot!

[ShadowDancer]

Wonderful composition with this dead tree, the reflection, and this dramatic sky! Pictures like this make me want a wide angle lens! :-)

[Brad Johnson]

Nice craggy tree. :)

[Alison Tomlin]

@shadowdancer treat yourself. They're only cheap ;-)

[Shannon Pitton]

All kinds of good stuff going on here! ELT and cloud reflections and broken down fence... And I like the tuft of grass in the foreground.

[ShadowDancer]

@fueast : Just got my new tele lens, so this one will have to wait. But I hope one day... :-)

[Amanda L.]

Ooooh, I like it, too! A fav! Great tree with an excellent reflection. I love me some lone tree!

[Alison Tomlin]

@shadowdancer Mine was meant to be for Christmas but then a few hard weeks at work persuaded me I deserved one sooner :-0 Your new tele lens was worth the money though!

[Alison Tomlin]

@amandalomonaco Have you checked out the elt tag? Have you shot one you can tag?

[ShadowDancer]

@fueast : Yes, I like my new tele lens. BTW, it was also meant for Christmas, and for my birthday, which is is Novemver. But I'm glad I got it already. :-)

[Livia]

Fantastic composition and great reflection! Very dramatic capture. 8)

[sue laubscher]

[m9f9l]

I like the effect also! Very nice!

[Jennie Cole]

Love this.

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Cool, I like the effect as well :)

[Allison Maltese]

FAV for me too. Love the reflections and the crisp b+w tonalities, the lone tree...everything about it.

[Alison Tomlin]

@brontosaurus It didn't work so well in colour actually. The blue sky made it look too cheerful!

[John]

Dramatic shot.

[Daniel Hlouverakis]

Very dramatic shot! FAV!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Wonderful effect...love it....my mum was this evening watering the window boxes and hanging baskets in between showers.....they never seem to catch the rain...must be annoying! Fav!

[Ann Jones]

Super capture! The reflections are so clear and that bare tree adds to the sense of mystery of that surreal effect. Fav for me.

[Brian Baptie]

Great elt shot and wonderful processing. Fav.

[Jenn]

That scraggly tree is amazing! Great processing too. Saw a video on the news today...apparently Wales is being swept away. Hope you have your boat ready, just in case!

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger Am having some conversion work done on the camper tomorrow. van/boat James Bond stylie.

[Jenn]

@fueast must have a built in bar...for those long floats

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger ha ha laughed out loud. Actually the fridge is full of miniatures but I really don't know why. In case of emergency?

[Jenn]

@fueast for emergency use and small so you have to pace yourself. Floating and drinking may not mix! It's 35C here today...I'm melting! Thank god for ac!

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger Brilliant I've just put a cardie and the heating on!

[Jenn]

@fueast my cousin is coming from Manchester on Friday for a week. I'm guessing she's going to think Canada has gone tropical.

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger She won't be able to cope. It'll all be too bright and cheerful.

[Linda Lorraine]

Wonderful reflection in the water and great overall composition

[Jenn]

@fueast LOL! Apparently she's a ginger (I've never met her). Going to burn to a crisp.

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger Photo ops....

[Not So Random Pics]

Love the drama, very intense!

[Jenn]

@fueast crispy Englander ...stay tuned

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger Yeah - remember we are also crispy Englanders so be nice.

[Jenn]

@fueast I wouldn't be anything BUT nice. I don't need an angry mod thank you very much!

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger Is she a mod then? As in musically speaking?

[Jane Pittenger]

Fav for me for elt, moodiness, reflections, edit

[Kass]

Fab reflection there Alison!

[Jenn]

@fueast uh, god, typo. 'mob'. Although, she could be a mod for all I know! Nicole Laughton...you know her? lol

[Alison Tomlin]

@shutterbugger Well me and @judithg were at the same Jam gig once so you never know on both counts.

[Alison Tomlin]

@m9f9l Ha ha - I need to start a Wikipedia page about extreme lone trees.
