Hey Margo – charge up the camera – you will be seeing this tomorrow!!! Thanks for the encouragement.

Rosalie Dale IPA replied
What a lovely response Lianne – thank you.
Bill Fonseca
Nice image Rosalie but I thought Billy Goats climb mountains and this isn’t a mountain. LOL. Sorry I’m just having a silly moment.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
You are probably right Bill! Will have to think of another fairy story that it could relate to … hmmm … brain dead!!! Thanks mate for the visit.

Dennis Gay
G’day Rosalie,
Oh this is goooood!!!!!
Great scene, very well composed, excellent processing to bring out the very best from your exposure.
Warm, soft, misty, dreamy and with lovely colours and contrast. Your work on the bridge railing is very good.
Great work that girl!

Dennis
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Wow that is a great response Dennis thank you! I purposely didn’t look at last year’s version till I’d finished this, and must confess was a bit perplexed – they are quite different and I wondered if this one was too ‘strong’. So I am encouraged … and grateful you took time to visit! :+) R
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Ah sorry – I forgot to thank you for the favouriting! An honour – and much appreciated.

Rosalie, while we now live in Ontario I grew up outside Montreal, Quebec and in winter-time soup this coulour was a very common thing to be served. Pea soup is almost a staple of the French Canadian diet, and it’s also delicious. As the pros all tell us the same thing, when there’s water in a photo let it flow toward the bottom, toward the viewer as you have done here. The framing is so perfect too, not just for the background, but the willows also seem to be framing the foreground, if that’s possible. The shoreline is the horizon and it’s properly placed. The bridge is at the 1/3 spot, also properly placed and the reflections give the whole an additional sense of serenity. I guess when you add all that together you can’t do anything but come up with a real ‘winner ’, as you have done. Great stuff!
Warren
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Warren I’m pleased you found this appealing!!! It is a scene which jumps out at one, and doesn’t need a huge amount of thought – it seems to just ‘frame’ itself. As for the pea soup – I could do with a steaming bowl about now – our autumn has a distinct feel of wiinter with snow around and we have the chill factor from it! Thanks so much for your in depth comment. :+) R
Sean Farragher
beautiful scene
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Glad you like it Sean – thank you
loramae

If you have any questions please ask. I only learned through the help of people on photography sites, and a lot of trial and error!!!
