  • \$\begingroup\$ +1 - If the exposure was longer, would the reflections in the water be clearer? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @rfusca: Well, the reflections would be blurred instead of scattered. With a really long exposure the water would look like fog. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @rfusca it might. I've had mixed results. Resized to 375x210 they would probably look very clear. Though I think the scattering works better, artistically, for this picture (long exposures of water aren't always better than short ones). If you're curious, ask the question :) I'd answer with a couple examples; I'm sure others will chime in with they whys and hows. \$\endgroup\$

Male Flame Skimmer

Large version can be found in flickr.

About: Reverse Macro with 18-55mm. Male Flame Skimmers are known for their entirely red or dark orange body, this includes eyes, legs, and even wing veins. Females are usually a medium or darker brown with some thin, yellow markings. This particular type of skimmer varies in size but is generally measured somewhere between two and three inches long. These naiads are known for being rather large and chubby-looking due to their rounded abdomen. They are covered with hair but, unlike most young dragonflies, they lack hooks or spines.

Order: Odonata, Suborder: Anisoptera, Family: Libellulidae, Genus: Libellula, Species: Libellula Saturata

Picture taken from Water Development Board garden, Chandpur, Bangladesh.

An abandoned old estate and a farm

An abandoned old estate and a farm

An abandoned old estate and a (working) farm in the park of Stupinigi, near Turin, Italy. I took this photo approx. 20 minutes after the sunrise. The ground was still covered in hoar frost.

This park used to be a hunting ground for the Savoy family. Later they also built a beatiful (now temporarily inaccessible to visitors) hunting palace in this area. Now there are several working farms around as well as a large park.

Larger version is available on Flickr.

    \$\begingroup\$ Nice, but woud probably work better if you increased the exposure a bit of the snow. Seeing dark snow just doesn't seem right... \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Nice comment, it's true but I liked the texture of the icy snow with the sun reflection. I have a more exposed version non-published. I think what I liked the most is the general low-key feel of the picture. But maybe it's the the good subject. \$\endgroup\$
