Wel it's just great, even without the wonderful dolphin in the sky.

Really thought that I had sussed this location, Lac du Der Chantecoque en Champagne; then I remembered that there was a spire, not a tower with cupola! Bugger. One of these days Rolo, one of these days! ;)

Rolo -

 

Wonderful for your signature glow and tonal range, terrific bleakness with your use of empty space.

 

Pete - Not a dolphin, but a weedy seadragon (related to sea horses and pipe fish).

Stuart nailed this one. The empty space really makes this shot, although bleakness isn´t the word I´d use...serene, placid, still even.

Great work.

 

Was the darkening of the foreground, and the top of the frame done post processing?

 

Best,

Mitchell

 

Mitchell,

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

I have this in B&W neg and colour. This frame started off as a colour image and although the coloouring is fabulous IMO, the sky has is not consistant. Rather than put the work into it to try and make it work I decided to do a conversion in PS. With the loss of colour, the 'dolphin' needed bringing back. The forground was a little bland and I played around with it to give it some life.

 

Hope that helps.

 

William, you didn't comment on the image, just the title. :rolleyes: ... but thanks for pointing it out.

 

Andy, ...... "Down Rover" :D

 

Thanks to all for your comments.

There is a world of difference between Water Works and Waterworks. :)

 

This is the location I first thought of:

Photographies aériennes du Lac du Der Chantecoq, page 1

 

Very similar story, large man-made lake, historic chapel in the way, almost identical result.

 

There is also a world of difference between an artistic photograph and a "snap". :D
