Leaf Afloat

Posted by Michael Rawluk (Williams Lake, BC, Canada) on 2 October 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

A leaf floating in a pond. A gentle rain begins to fall. The world seems to be at peace as I amble with a friend.

I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.

I love the way the leaf, the ripples and the reflection complement each other. Beautiful grayscale, too. Great job!

I like the feel of this photograph. You did an excellent job of catching that calm feeling. Plus the blackness of the water is just stinkin' awesome!

@Michael Keith: It was one of those moments when you are waiting for another photographer and you just look down and see something that you want to keep. Thanks for the comment, Michael.
