Death can dance

Many of my abstracts involve water and this is one of my favorites. I was hiking in the Musquash Nature Preserve near my house in NH and saw this reflection of some trees and stopped dead. It has energy somehow.

Processed in Lr for a tiny crop, white and black points and a nice curve adjustment to maximize contrast. A little vibrance & texture, too.

I love the dancing trunks, popping in and out of degrees of reality like virtual particles*! The darker trunk on the right anchors things perfectly.

Lovely, Kris. The energy and movement is quite engaging. Great capture.

The dancing trees look great, Kris. Nicely seen.
