French Hen by judithg

French Hen

First of all WOW!!!! If I could write THANK YOU larger I would. What an amazing response to yesterday's photo - I like that shot because it's one of my favourite places in Cambridge (not usually so gloomy!) but I didn't expect such fantastic comments and faves. You're all brilliant!

Secondly I confess I took this yesterday as well. When I took the photo I was really pleased but it was one of those that lost something when uploaded - which is why I worked on the other one woohoo! I was playing with Picnik in this one and normally when I click 'Sepia' I groan and 'Undo' but this time I thought 'Bingo!' Out of interest this is the same place that the man was reading his Sunday papers a couple of weeks ago ( http://365project.org/judithg/extras/2011-11-06 ) there was no sitting around relaxing going on yesterday morning. It might get bumped to Extras if my some miracle I find something on this thoroughly unpleasant day weather wise. And thanks again for yesterday - my Monday was no longer Blue!!
A stunning image. Love the composition and tones.

This is fabulous, Judith. Such a lazy feel about it, nicely framed by the branch but it's also very well composed with the zig-zag line-up of the boats leading the eye to the misty bridge. FAV.

Another stunner. Well done!!

I love the high contrast foreground and the low contrast background. This is a wonderful shot.. Sell it someone who is writing a book about Cambridge.
