Cattails on the Riverbank

I love watching the changes in the cattails down by the riverbank - from full to the top to just barely there. Thought I'd try it in b&w to catch the water movement.

Brilliant capture of the reeds bursting and the ripples on the water.

[Beth Sheppard]

Wonderful patterns, with the horizontal and vertical lines!
Did they stand out in color, too, or is it the BW?

@bsheppard I didn't notice them at all in color - maybe my eye was just drawn to the color of the cattails, but I know it didn't stand out like this.

Wonderful horizontal and vertical lines! Caught my eye immediately! Great b&w image!

[GaryW]

So pretty! Love the ripples.

[Tony]

Love the contrasts and eye catching lines.

[Rick]

Nicely captured. It is rather neat the way the cattails shed away like that.

[Lisa Malecki]

very striking image with the strong horizontal and vertical lines

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Absolute love the vertical vs. horizontal!

[Joanna kate]

Fascinated by the water effect

[Nicole]

very pretty and it works well in b&w!

[Janet B.]

Fabulous black and white image! So many interesting lines. I find those horizontal lines in the water particularly eye-catching. This month of black and white has really opened my eyes to shapes, forms, lines, etc. that I surely would have missed.

[Issi Bannerman]

I love all those lines - super!

[Allison Maltese]

You made a very interesting image with the horizontal and vertical lines. I think I'd crop the one leaning over at the bottom left.The rest are standing at attention so well.

[Daisy Miller]

Pretty shot. Nice water ripple lines in the background.

[Ann]

Very pretty shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

Great lines and shapes

[Milanie]

@falcon11 You have such a good eye - I definitely agree.
