The Thrall

Geoff  Coleman - Landscapes

The Thrall

I was driving along a road in a seaside town at Jervis Bay National Park, just 2.5 hours south of Sydney Australia when I glimpsed this moon through some trees with a pathway of silver light across the water. A lucky moment, in that all the elements were there but tricky in putting them together because it was so dark I couldn’t see anything through the viewfinder and had to keep taking pics, viewing them on the LCD display and then moving the tripod to get the composition I wanted.
It looks to me like the trees on either side of the moon are partners about to dance onto the floor of some enchanted ballroom.

    Ok so I owe you a more detailed explanation here! I love the sharp/clean contrast between the darkness of the trees and the white glow of the moon. This picture is also perfectly balanced with the moon and reflection in the middle and the trees either side, yet the branches on the left hand side “poke” the moon, which gives a bit of off-balance (therefore interest). The reflection is just so intense and sublime.

  • Joe  Mortelliti

    Joe Mortelliti

    Nicely captured, that reflection on the water is very effective, makes me want to go out and capture some moon images myself:-)

    This photo you put it up here on red bubble, thinking in that tiny head of yours, hey what a cool photo, or maybe someone will by this from me,……as if it was nice or something…like a new rug you just bought at Ikea, for the new living room u just fixed up……” what-what-what”…are u thinking, are u ok???
    This is not art?
    Or a great photo?
    And it sure isn’t a photograph you should be showing to all of us like as if we where your family members or something, who the hell do u think u are?
    This is a master-piece…this should be hanging in some Museum in ancient Rome or in Bill-Gates house, congratulations on such a fine piece, good-work well-done, its nice to know there are still people out there, with a good sense of humor …………!

    Talk about being in the right place at exactly the right moment. This is magical. Yes, I can see the trees moving to dance, although the tree on the right reminds me of a very long necked swan. The silver reflection of the moon on the water provides a path to the land of dreams, hiding just over the horizon. This is truly magnifique!

    Wow!! That took a long time to get to where I could put my little comment..! I guess there’s not much more for me to add really… I just LOVE this image… I love the composition, the contrasts… the way you want to see fairies or other magical beings, the way the trees want to join in dance… and a host of other reasons… oh.. and because it’s where I live so it’s got another layer for me… : )

  • Geoff Coleman... replied

    Oh wow, three brilliant comments in one day – too much of a good thing methinks. Thanks yet again for what I think is the best comment I’ve received for this pic – just can’t thank you enough.
