OCOLOY Day 72: Mutant Trees and Mitzi

I was tied up most of today in meetings so this is a shot from my walk with Mitzi yesterday afternoon. Most of the trees around Paimpont Lake lean towards the water but this particular one leans right over to touch the water. It's a popular photo opportunity with visitors.

Another one to view on black...

These birch trees exercising themselves into the water make an unusual and interesting shot. Whilst Mitzi does her best pooch-mooch, the shadow across the lake and the myriad of tonal greys beyond are captivating.

Mitzi looks as though she is in 7th heaven!! Lots of wonderful smells. Great picture.

[PTP: Past their Prime]

Lovely, Richard. You do capture a fabulous tonal range in your shots.

[Kathy]

Nice path to stroll along.

[Shari]

Love the contrast in this shot.

[Taffy]

Interesting lines from the trees -- it conveys the way the winds over the years have pushed them to bend in the direction we see. Mitzi gives a clear sense of scale.

[gloria jones]

Great capture, composition

[Louis A. Sousa]

Great image Richard. The trees are thirsty!

[Christine]

Great shot

[Liz jones]

Wonderful crispness and contrast and all the leaning trees make a lovely composition (as, of course, does Mitzi)

[Margaret Obey]

The arching tree going to water - great. Mitzi makes a great focal point.

[Debs Stott]

I love the ones leaning in the water, almost as if they are drinking

[Jasper]

The presence of Mitzi adds a lot to the shot.

[Ukandie!]

I so often push the contrasts in my b&w shots, I forget that some shots benefit from a range of tones.

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely scene you can see why it is popular.

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Maybe they're worshiping the water, since it's one if their sources of life. Love all the tones and contrasts, wonderfully captured.
