Comments on: "Photo Friday" (33)
The little touches of rust on the leaves in the background keep this photo from being too monochromatic.
This is very pretty, Spring is not long to come, maybe 21 days, I bet they are ready. 🙂
I know I am. But, not looking forward to summer…
Love the plumpness of the geese in comparison to the reeds screen of straight lines – great shot!
They are a bit spoiled. This is sanctuary land. Thanks Richard!
And in death, springs new life, no?
Absolutely.
They seemed to be Canada Geese = If they chose to spend a winter there =
the pond never frozen ?
Nice family photo (of geese) 🙂
This is a bird sanctuary, so many geese are around in the winter though it does get very cold.
Ah…
Yeah…
I love the backdrop with its strong verticals of reeds and saplings and its splash of russet coloured leaves. It contrasts beautifully with the calm, smooth surface of the water. I like too the limited palette – it contributes to the overall mood. My one slight reservation relates to the amount of foreground. I would have been inclined to crop a sliver off the bottom – but its not my picture, and I’m splitting hairs. Its really a lovely picture.
There’s an idea. I’ll have to try it cropped. Thanks Louis!
Maybe they are scoping out some early nesting places?
That oak(?) still holding onto it’s leaves is so graceful. Pond love. : )
Perhaps they were. I don’t know what sort of tree that is, but lots of orangey dots on the landscape. Thank you Karen!
A nice tranquil but cold looking scene Elena!
It was chilly;) Thank you!
Hemingway sería feliz al ver los patos
Aside from the family of geese, the contrasts in this piece really make it special. I like how the bottom section is very light in value with a heavy, chaotic texture. The top half of the picture is dark with rigidly vertical strokes.
Thanks much Gabriel. It was a great day of stalking geese;)
wonderful. Thank you dear Elena, have a nice weekend, love, nia
You too Nia! Thank you.
Lovely photo 🙂 The colors are comforting when I look at them.
I’m glad:) Thanks Allyson Marie.
A beautiful family shot! Great angle and perspective ~
I tried to get as close as I could without disturbing them and not falling into the swamp;) Thanks Mary.
great shot.
Thank you!
On Golden Pond
Yes, it is:)
Very beautiful picture, dear Elena!
Have a beautiful spring and a wonderful day! 🙂
So pretty! I love how those ?reeds stand so tall !!
They do stand tall! Thanks Shree.
