Abstract a Palm Tree Reflection

a Palm Tree Reflection · 01:50 PM

I took this photo of the reflection of a palm tree in a small pond in our campground. What appears to be snow flurries, is actually pond scum floating over the reflection in the pond, giving the photo a unique appearance.

Not bad- you should make it more of a vertical, I'd say.

Adam, you have to admit, this is one of the best pond scum photos you have ever seem. Thanks for looking.

cheers

That is an unusual photo Bob but you know something, I do like it.

thanks Heinrich, it isn't a sharp shot that is for sure, but I liked the effect of the lighting and of course the scum.

Lori, I have a tendency to wander around, so eventually you see or bump into something interesting. I appreciate you taking a look at my "scum" picture, one of the few scum photos on this forum.

Nice one, it does look like snow.

I have ignored the part about the scum and simply love this image for its colours and shapes. Well seen! thank you for posting

I hadn't thought about that Charlie, wish I would of ran it through a couple of filters to experiment a bit. Seems like sometimes I am a dollar short.

Bob - this is a truly cool shot. What a clever way to produce a whole new look to a palm tree. Great job, buddy.
