The prow of a small boat in Mevagissey harbour, on a still morning; 24 Oct 2012.
I think this must be the most perfect reflection photo I’ve ever taken. Conditions were ideal – an overcast morning with barely a whiff of breeze. This boat was moored at the quay, and the rusting chain is its mooring line.
Two earlier pictures in this series are Reflection (1) and Reflection (2) .
Nikon D700 with 70mm-300mm VR Nikkor at 240mm; 5000 ISO.

I definitely prefer the latest one you have uploaded over this one.

Sonali, I agree – but I now think that these two images are too different for comparison. This is a paler and gentler image I think – the other is stronger, with more menace and atmosphere. Adrian

Superb abstract photograph, Adrian. Great symmetrical reflection. I also like the muted colours and the way the diagonal lines come together — almost parallel at the top, becoming to a pont at the bottom. And the black chevron diving the image… I could go on, but you get the point!!!

Oh yes, indeed I like this a lot – great reflection, and perfect exposure.
I can easily see this enlarged hanging on a wall – is it ok if I reblog? (If I can work out how to do it.)

Thanks, Steve, I appreciate your good words! I can remember seeing this reflection below me in the harbour and then looking at it through the 70-300 and being blown away. I might try a mono version sometime, but the faint rusty notes in the chain bring something to the picture I think.
Yes, you can certainly reblog – >>>you never have to ask NB – I’m happy for anyone to reblog anything of mine any time.
Its the creation of images that I really enjoy and, once they’re created, if anyone wants to give them a wider audience, that’s fine with me. Adrian
