Winter Lake View

A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable. ~William Wordsworth

*****************************************************
Our view of the lake and mountain is always partially obscured by trees plants and shrubs in the winter but is totally obscured the rest of the year. Since we live in the woods we want to keep it as natural as possible..even thought that means we have no expansive views.

Fantastic -- you've made a wonderful image that has the essence of an abstract, but yet maintains a feel of the original. Well done.

Lovely framing with the trunk like that and the soft bokeh and colour in the back of frame.
