Black and white by helenhall

Black and white

I have a few more from last week's session down by the river one lunch time when the sun came out and the river was flooding.

The seven I took down by the river today have all been deleted - horrible conditions and the sky has been like a dirty blank sheet for the past few days.

So I prefer to look back at the ones I took last week for the time being.

Thank you for looking.
Beautiful composition!

Serene and meditative. I like that you are posting these photos and not leaving them moldering in a folder on your computer.

I like the balance of the two swans. I have been posting older shots myself. I just haven't had the time to go out and get new photos and the weather is still a bit chilly. Hurry up Spring!

This is wonderful, especially with the deep blue water as background. I like the contrasting of white and black swan.

@suzanne234 I certainly hope so Suzanne
@ivan thank you Ivan. one in shade the other in full light
@carolmw thank you Carol - all down to the play of light
@flowerfairyann thank you Ann. I was pleased that the swan in the light eventually obliged
@shawnas365 thank you kindly Shawna. I had fun taking photos from that spot
@onewing the swans were enjoying new ground to explore, as this archway under the bridge is usually a walking path
@domenicododaro patience was required to await the juxtaposition- thank you.
@haskar thank you very much. We don't often see this degree of blue in the river water
@taffy thanks Taffy. The black swan is, ofcourse, really a white swan but in the shadow of the bridge arch. I was struck by the contrast.
@olivetreeann I quite agree that the spring needs to get a move on. Still - it gives a chance fo the recent shots to get an airing.
@ethelperry how kinf of you to say so Ethel
@jyokota thank you Junko. Much appreciated.

This is beautiful and the contrast works so well!

is that really a black swan or just being in the shadows? it doesn't seem to have any details in it. rather intriguing, i dare say.
April 13th, 2018  
Incredible viewed on black! Your timing was perfect to capture one swan in the beautiful light and the other in shadow...and facing each other. :-)

I like the play with dark and light!
April 13th, 2018  
Beautiful shot
