Invitation

    Eventually the ice has melted around the beaches here, making it possible to do close-ups of beach objects surrounded by water again :-)

      Very beautiful image. Nice detail in the platform, and nice composition.
      It's nice when the snow and ice is here, and nice too when it's gone.

      I love the simplicity...

      Ah new work! Great minimalistic compo. The tones on this thing (don't know what it is) contrast so nicely with the tones in the water. And I also like that blurry horizon a lot!

      Super detail in the foreground element. As always great minimalism.

      Thanks, all!

      Joel - I too don't know what this thing is called, it's a little round wooden "pontoon" for bathing...

      Wonderful interplay of shapes and lines, the geometry is stunning and of course the minimalism!

    16. Kaj-Ivar van der Wijst (38 months ago | reply)

      I love this composition. So simple. Great use of ND / Long Exposure to create the positive and negative space.

      It reminds me of Solaris... I wouldn't take a bath here I guess :)
      Great capture, love the composition!

    31. Lieve Van den Bosch (38 months ago | reply)

      That's a cool pontoon !! You are so lucky to live close to the water,( well I suppose you do ?). Now the ice has melted a lot of new photo opportunities are unfolding ;-)
      I love the simple but very effective composition !!

    32. Rob Cherry [deleted] (38 months ago | reply)

      Pretty much perfect Maria. Fantastic subject! I have been hunting everywhere here to find a nice set of steps into water... without much luck. Superb work =)

    33. Kevin Hollingsworth Photos (38 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful shot, nicely composed

    34. Loentje :o) (38 months ago | reply)

      perfect compo and beautiful treatment.

    35. p i c a (38 months ago | reply)

      Thanks, guys!!!

      bollaeszter - well, unless you're very brave, you wouldn't take a bath here at this time of year, but give it a few months and it'll be lovely :-)

      Lieve - well, I live fairly close. About 10 kilometers or so...

      Rob - thanks, yes, it's not that easy to find interesting steps into the water, and even more difficult to actually capture them with the camera... This one was tough. Really tough :-)

    36. SwedishFury (38 months ago | reply)

      Agree. This is perfect and really so beautiful!!!

    37. Eric F. / (38 months ago | reply)

      jesus christ...such a perfect picture

    40. reathel (38 months ago | reply)

      really wonderful exposure on the deck. Everything must have been very still as there appears to be no movement at all. Excellent as always.

      Cheers.

    41. Ger208k (38 months ago | reply)

      Stunning textures and tones.
