OCOLOY Day 59: Doorstepping! by vignouse

OCOLOY Day 59: Doorstepping!

Thursday and yesterday I spent around 3 hours each day in the car visiting Auray and St. Cast le Guildo respectively, in search of images for my project. Although I found some shots to post, I didn't take anything that I thought justified the time and effort involved. Today I drove 3 km into the village and took a turn round Paimpont Lake and found a number of images that pleased me... especially this one of my favourite subject.

Worth viewing on black if you can.

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
beautiful shot

Fabulous capture.
February 29th, 2016  
Very nice

I like the grasses coming up in the water in the foreground. Everything about this works just right.

Love how the light it hitting part of the building, the same part that is reflected in the water.
February 29th, 2016  
Terrific composition, light
February 29th, 2016  
Viewing it on black brings out stronger shadow contrasts, the reflection on the water just pops! Beautiful site and capture...fav!

Amazing comp! Just a lovely place..

Beautifully composed Richard. Sometimes you don't need to go much beyond your doorstep. Maybe you should try your own 'Square Mile' project

PS Fav!

@yrhenwr Thanks David... in fact, in the two years that I've been on here, the vast majority of my images have been sourced in the immediate area. That has been through circumstance rather than deliberate planning but perhaps you're right, perhaps I should document my 'doorstep' in a more deliberate way.

Beautiful though I might crop up a bit from bottom just above the leaves. They seem distracting
February 29th, 2016  
I like the lovely textures and patterns that show up all over this image.
February 29th, 2016  
Beautiful Richard!
February 29th, 2016  
Beautiful, peaceful scene
February 29th, 2016  
That so often happens. I know that I sometimes build up my expectations so much when I go out on purpose that I get nothing that I really like. Im trying to be more relaxed about it, and just take the camera everywhere!
This is such a tranquil shot.
February 29th, 2016  
I love the composition and the 'calmness' you have captured.
February 29th, 2016  
Serenity captured - and a nice composition too.
February 29th, 2016  
Beautiful. Wonderful calm water and reflections.
February 29th, 2016  
Great composition and shadows.

@jgpittenger Thanks for your comment Jane, but as you will have seen from my commentary, this is part of a long-term sooc project so no cropping allowed. That said, I did try framing this in different ways and I have a shot without the leaves in the foreground but I chose this one because I liked them included!
February 29th, 2016  
Beautiful shot. Fav
February 29th, 2016  
Been there down that. Though I do find that later I sometimes find more I like about the picture. Sometimes my mentor even says I unburied a treasure. Hope you held onto them.
February 29th, 2016  
This is a stunning shot and amazing that it is sooc. Fav!
February 29th, 2016  
This looks amazing on black Richard. I love it.
February 29th, 2016

February 29th, 2016
