And now for something completely different

Post by clovishound » Sat Jun 25, 2016 2:35 pm

I call it "Monet".

And no, it is not manipulated. I just did a little touch up to the density, contrast and color balance. It is very close to the original image.

It is a reflection on the water at nearby Cypress Gardens. A neat little park with a nice section of swamp that you can canoe on. It also has a butterfly house that is perfect for those that like to do close up work.

If you prefer:

Nice work, CH. I'm a sucker for reflection photos and that's a beauty - upside down or right side up, it's still a beauty. And I like the depth of field soft focus around that butterfly. Great job.

Wow, I love it. It's very similar to the one I took and like. It is truly very Monet like. Very nice job. Keep them coming.

Beautiful photographic artwork, clovishound. Excellently done!

Here is Monet's "Japanese Bridge." You have pegged the correct artist. I can almost see his work in your image! :)
