D33 Idealism and Realism

The question of the reality of the trees and their reflections is a philosophical one that has been debated by many thinkers throughout history. Some argue that the trees themselves are the most real, as they exist independently of any observer or perception. Others argue that the reflections on the frozen pond are just as real, as they are a representation of the trees, created through the interaction of light and water.

Regardless of one's views, it can be said that the relationship between the trees and their reflections is a thought-provoking example of the interplay between appearance and reality, and the ways in which our perceptions can shape our understanding of the world around us.
Dreamy capture! So you're a philosopher too. =)

Both are reality! We all see things differently. Just by moving around the trees the appearance will change. The reflections are a reality of light and shadow play on a reflective surface. Someone standing to your left or right and taking the same image will come up with a different reality, but then the trees will look different! What I enjoy about your image is the effect of the frozen pond! It makes the reflection less shiny or less perfect and that in itself is another reality! Well done! Love it when people think out of the box!

@marlboromaam Not really a philosopher ... but sometimes a photographer also needs to learn beyond photography. 😀

@darylluk I'm much older and hope wiser than I was in my bold youth. Philosophy is personal - like religion... each to their own. But your words are very deep - like an old soul. =)
