    Hi Everyone,
    This is my final offering for the week and is pretty much straight from the camera. Taken last February at Little Estero Lagoon whilst standing next to Denise :)
    1D 3 500 f/4 (rented) + 1.4
    ISO 200
    f/45 1/4 sec
    Exp comp @ + 1
    HH
    Cropped to taste and tweaked in curves.
    This is absolutely one of my all time favourite images - I love the sense of calm that it brings, although I think that perhaps it works best as a print.
    Look forward to your C & C's :)
    Best as always,
    Nicki

    Very nice artistic impression Nicki. I remember the day well! The high key look along w/ the reflection really puts this over the top for me!

    Nicki, I love the graceful curves and the high key look. It's abstract in such a graceful way and is gorgeous.:)

    Just super Nicki! Really like the impressionistic painting look and the subdued colors. The blur really works well. I can see that a print would look really nice...

    Another beautiful composition, Nicki. I too love the impressionistic look. The colors are nice - hk and blur makes this is a special one. TFS.

    Hi, I like the composition, colors and the high key light. I see your portfolio and I would want to define your work as "corageus"... and very original IMHO.
