OCOLOY Day 273: Walking on Water?

This is the last night of our holiday and we're stopping at La Gacilly the home of the Yves Rocher perfumes and toiletries enterprise and also home to France's largest outdoor photo exhibition. The theme this year is Oceans and the guest country is Japan. We visited earlier in the year with my daughter and her fiancé but they got photo fatigue towards the end of the day so we didn't see everything - we caught up this afternoon and will be making our way home tomorrow - less than an hour's journey.

There is a weir in the river at this point and no lock so this guy had to manhandle his canoe to regain navigable water - I liked the trompe l'oeil effect..

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile. This is also for 'Square September' which you can find more about here - http://365project.org/discuss/general28377/square-september

One to view on black I think.
Great framing and reflections!

LOVELY!! It has been nice to enjoy your holiday with the two of you.

Evocative of several happy moments here...and a splendid shot!

@essiesue Thank you Sue, what a lovely thing to say.

two pictures in one, at least. Very picturesque

The figure under the first bridge arch is a really nice touch.

The trompe l'ceil effect, with the figure under the bridge, is a delightful addition. Your Fuji really take such a nice, clear shot, by the way. Lovely on black.

Fabulous shot that looks spectacular on black

Fantastic; wonderful full gray scale tones from deep black dark gray mid
gray and lighter to white. Love the way you framed the boat and person
silhouette .

So very interesting to look at. While the person under the bridge is your subject, I can't stop looking at the bridge. Very different looking than those here.

Seems like you've had a lovely holiday. The figure really makes the shot, adding interest.

I love the shadows, light and reflections Richard

and back to the boats, thanks for the month of squares
September 30th, 2016  
Beautiful capture.

I like the balance to this, the empty arch contrasting with the one containing the boat/figure action.
September 30th, 2016  
The figure makes this shot. Love the detail and interest throughout the image!
