Spring Impressions

by Mark Seaver

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 16, 2012339 views21 comments
During an afternoon ramble and scouting trip along the C&O Canal and Potomac River, the light was too harsh for any good scenery pictures, but with a steady breeze, the reflections of spring colors in the canal were very impressionistic. (5D, 70-200 f2.8 @ 200mm, 1/100s, f/6.3, tripod and polarizer)

This is especially nice, Mark. I love the well balanced range of spring colors throughout the ripples.

The color is excellent and the ripples make for an outstanding abstraction.

Way to make lemonade from a lemon, Mark. This is very painterly and impressionistic. :toast:

Very nice image Mark. The mix of spring colors and rippling branches has an almost mesmerizing quality to it.

Another very 'artsy' photo.
I like the rippled texture and lines.
Color is pleasant, too.

No other subject matter creates such painterly images, IMO. This turned out very nice!

You made the most of your "ramble" good eye for the shot Mark.
Love the colors & ripples across the water, definitely feels like Spring.
You make a great impression :smile: :toast:
