Love the light and contrast Stuart. The delicate white lines add a gracefulness to this wonderful, abstract scene.

Beautiful! This is just a wonderful b/w image, Stuart. Composition is excellent! This has such a nice feel and I really like the texture in the lily pads.

Simply stunning!!! One of the best images I have seen on NPN since joining in 2003.
It always amazes me that such work hardly gets noticed around here. Very unfortunate indeed.

Nicely composed scene Stuart. On closer inspection I like how I can see some of the vegetation through the black background. Great B&W image.

Beautiful work, Stuart. A good example of how a shot with only a few elements can be quite powerful.

Wonderful B&W abstract! Would like to see more detail, but the smaller size limits this. Bet this made a beautiful large print.

Great minimal piece. Beautifully processed. I can imagine it looking amazing as an actual Gelatin Silver Print matted with a white window mat and framed with a simple black frame.Beautiful.
