Bill W Posted March 28, 2015 Share #8 Posted March 28, 2015 Sort of has a surreal feel to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwells Posted March 29, 2015 Share #9 Posted March 29, 2015 Great! (And it wouldn't be the same without the small red spot of that buoy), cheers: Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Monkhouse Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted March 31, 2015 Many thanks for the most kind comments. The use of the tower in the picture is a mystery to me and despite research I am unable to provide an answer. The reservoir is known as Carsington Water and is in the county of Derbyshire, not more than 8 miles from my home. During its construction the dam wall collapsed killing several young workers. The wall was demolished and entirely rebuilt resulting in several years delay. Regarding the orange buoy, having been criticised by a judge at my camera club's recent competition for not having anything of interest in a submitted landscape picture I have tried harder. So this has a horizon and tower following the third's rule, the tower, orange buoy and wind farm give triangulation to retain the eye and the tower and its reflection the interest. And since it was a bad light day I almost didn't take my camera. But Capture One Pro 8 made a poor snap into a passable picture... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted April 1, 2015 Share #11 Posted April 1, 2015 Though this is situated in Derbyshire.....and therefore could not be more English....it has a distinctly Japanese feeling to it. Nice shot! In the distant past, when I still had the motivation to have anything to do with them, I did noticed that camera clubs seem to take the "point of interest" thing too terribly seriously, almost to the point of obsession, eventually I became tired of the litany, you might too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since it was a bad light day I almost didn't take my camera... Apologies, the above was meant to be cynical, my position is that "what is a good photograph" rules are made to be broken, the problem being that there are too many judges around who are fixed in the past. Having said that, applying "the rules" in this case did appear to work... Edited April 2, 2015 by David Monkhouse Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
