Nice shot Pete

The ultra wide lens is working well here, Pete. Seems to be moving...riverrun...

 

[Lesley Jones]

Now this is just magical...

 

[Paul Lange]

Thats stunning Pete, the leaves really do look a little like they are the sparkles on the surface of a river.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thank you kindly all. I decided on a bit of a challenge and only used the 12mm on the Monochrom all day. The light was rather dull that day and, at the edge of the park, these leaves appeared to be floating against the dark soil. So I took it a bit further.

Like a galaxy of stars Pete - very etherial

 

[Pete Askew]

Thank you sir (and you should know of course! )

 

[Dave Green]

That's a belter - perspective and vignette in perfect harmony

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Dave.

 

[Ralph Thornton]

I really like how the bright foreground leaves captured my attention. Then the "river" leading off in the distance brought exploration and mystery.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Ralph.

 

[Brian Moore]

I like what @Ralph Thornton said, Pete. There is a leading line away out of the top of the frame (Ralph's "river") that makes you want to go further. Very cool.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Brian. But do you take the left path or the right?!

 

[Brian Moore]

The left fork leads me, Pete. Which one did you take?

 

[Pete Askew]

The right one of course!

 

[Brian Moore]

I lean left, Pete.

 

[Beth Carter]

beautiful. love the distortion from the 12mm.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Beth. I thought it helped the rather dream-like appearance.
