Water abstract and a leaf

Distorted reflections of reeds and a little leaf. At the edge of one of the lakes at Carr Vale on a breezy afternoon. I am fascinated by the endless variation caused by light and wind on the surface of water. It is a chance to play with colour saturation or monochrome - generally I like colours to look as realistic as possible, but I am starting to appreciate the possibilities of black and white when the colours as seen just don't seem to quite work on the camera.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to look and comment. I am greatly enjoying browsing blips as they flood in, and do appreciate the friendly atmosphere of the site. Well done to blipfoto!
