OCOLOY Day 53: Reflections

Thank you all for your support and best-wishes over the last few days - feeling a bit better today and managed to get out for an hour this afternoon and take a photo for my project.

This is a simple reflection in the waters of the lake in the valley of "La chambre du loup" - 'The wolf's bedchamber'! What attracted me in particular was the way the small ripples on the surface of the water have made the tree's reflection look like a pointillist painting.

This views nicely on black.

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile. I'm also tagging this for B&W February
This is beautiful, artistic, poetic even. Huge favourite.

Pointillist indeed.

Very artistic! And I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better now.

Glad you're starting to feel better Richard. This is a great reflection it's the curve that does it for me

Glad you are better! I wish my walks were as lovely as your's! Gorgeous shot

Beautiful reflection and you have a great eye :)
February 23rd, 2016  
This is wonderfully fantastical!

An interesting angle to get this reflection! The tree is bowing to the water!
February 23rd, 2016  
Great reflection!
February 23rd, 2016  
I like your angle and the way the tree seems to disappear into the mist.
February 23rd, 2016  
So beautiful!
February 23rd, 2016  
Wonderful. I did not know it was a reflection. It reminded me of a tree I photographed in the Adirondack mountains last summer.
February 23rd, 2016  
Great image, took me a moment to realise it was a reflection, water has a fog like feel to it.
February 23rd, 2016  
Interesting and just slightly disorienting, what is real and what is illusion?

Your photo makes me think of the drawings "Georges Seurat "
February 23rd, 2016  
So glad you are feeling better. love the reflection.

@morgane Tu as raison, il y a une ressemblance entre cette image et son style de peinture et, par hazard, on partage le même anniversaire - le 2 décembre - mais il est né 85 ans avant moi!

This is one of the most mysterious tree I've ever seen
February 23rd, 2016  
Wonderful reflection. Very clever capture !

Lovely the reflection is so delicate .

When I first saw this on my phone I thought it was a tree and mist, at a weird angle, now I am looking at it on my computer I can see it is a reflection, wonderfully done.

Wild! As I see it, that is: a tree perched on the edge of a cliff hundreds of feet high and you are looking down. Super shot Richard; glad you were feeling well enough to climb all the way up there! Fav

wow, love this reflection. Great POV.

@vignouse -- I missed this one until Friday, but then spent quite a while at the pond on Saturday when the clouds were in a clear spot trying to get a clouds in the water picture. Got some interesting results, though not as dreamily perfect as this one.

@francoise It struck me that this was one you might like... wished I could have edited out those crossed grasses though!
