I took this on holiday at La Flotte on the Ile de Ré several years ago. Just something about it appeals to me and it's framed in colour on a wall at home.
Having just learnt about puddle-shooting, I was trying it out with my little p&s. An added interest was the two local police officers who came by just at the point of the click of the shutter and seemed rather interested in what I was doing.
A small and belated September update for 2024, where I am still, after many years' membership, on 365 Project, also now posting elsewhere but wanting...
I can certainly see why you lik it Hazel. Have checked your colour shot out too & they both work so well but I love the colour one especially! Puddle-shooting is a favourite one of mine too but I never seem to remember to do it @bixplayer used to do some fab puddle shots but I haven't seen any from her lately.....no rain in London perhaps 😆
I like this I black and white, it really puts the emphasis on the puddle whereas the colour version draws you to the leaves on the ground and away from the reflection.
I think I marginally prefer the colour one but I love the way the black and white brings out the contrast and reflections. Must be lovely to look at on your wall.
Mmmm, guess it must have done - yes, it does, I remember now!

I think you have taught me something about this shot Wendy!
Yes her puddle shots were beautiful.
