Duckweed

Today I visited a local park known as the Tarn. It's a very pretty place and is now listed as a bird sanctuary. There is a very large pond which is covered in duckweed. It really looked like a carpet that you could just walk over. The ducks and geese didn't seem to mind though and apparently it'll disappear again when the autumn is here. This photo is one of the bridges across the water and the green is the duckweed through the railings.

Love the lines and shadows

Interesting lines with all the light and shadow. Composed perfectly for an abstract photo. FAV

The duckweed pond looks like pea soup! Love the light, shadows, and lines. Fav

Makes a nice abstract!

@kvphoto Pea soup probably describes the pond quite well. It was completely covered, had a very flat no-texture appearance and was quite peculiar too see.

Nice abstract. The colors are bright and contrasts are bold.

This is striking. If the diagonal had gone from corner to corner it would look amazing (hope you didn't mind my saying this)

Really like the convergence of lines and that pop of contrasting color of the duckweed.

@fbailey Not at all and I quite agree. I had corner to corner in mind when I took the photo. However, it did need cropping to eliminate the handrail and weeds and to keep it corner to corner I would have needed to crop more. I did keep flicking between the two pictures and decided that this was the better one. I appreciate your comments it really encourages me. 😀

@serendypyty So pleased you're not offended! Ps I'd have kept the handrail:)

This is another great abstract, you definitely know how to think when looking from them.
