Water in three forms
At Lake Myrtle, at the base of Mt Rogoona in Tasmania, on a cold morning a heavy layer of frost sits on an old log in the water, the mist in the air giving this scene an extra element.
Taken with a Nikon D200 camera.

Thanks, I was pretty happy with it as well.
This is one of three images of mine that made it into the finals of the 2008 photo of the year at the Bushwalk-Tasmania forum.
The poll for the final comp will be set up probably in a few weeks. Fingers crossed!
I won last year.

You’re right – done. Thanks.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
In full resolution, the frost on the log stands out so much more clearly – the crystals are most defining.
seoulma
wow, this is such a beautifully calming shot. Well done.

Very nicely composed and exposed with perfect dof! Lovely detailing and amazing reflections on the still water! The mist on the water adds a lovely extra sense of mood to this! : )

Stuart Thorpe
Beauty! Can I offer an idea, just to see, if you haven’t already done it?
Crop the shoreline away and I see an almost totally abstracted and for me, more powerful image…....
tasadam replied
Stuart, thank you for your suggestion. I have not been ignoring it all this time, occasionally thinking about it. To each his own, I have viewed it as you suggested a number of times but still find myself preferring my original composition.
When I took it, I spent some time composing – getting my position right to achieve this look. An element to the image that the shoreline assists in are the two horizontal lines. Not jumping at you like lines of a Rubik’s Cube – the top line pronounced, is the shoreline, and the bottom line, much less defined, more ragged, is the line separating the sunshine reflection. Cut away by the log, I had myself in the position and had the timing just right to allow a hint of the sunshine reflection on the left side. This line, very much sublime, and blending into the composition by being carried through the log – the main feature of the image. Many other elements to complete this image – the mystique of the mist, the vertical lines of the reflections, and particularly the sharpness and clarity of this image in full size.
Thank you for the suggestion all the same.
David McMahon
Great shot. Perfect composition.
kalaryder

You know what really adds magic to this image for me? The contrast of the reflection in an otherwise monotone image. Hauntingly beautiful
