I published the first part of Emerald Lake Reflections last month. The only words a three line poem. I had two cameras with me that day. Here is the companion image.

I had gone to Ceres that day hoping I might find some interesting images among the swamps. The day was heavy overcast and the forest dark. After leaving the swamp I headed up the trail and found the best images of the day here on the shore of Emerald lake.
Last month’s image was taken with an 85mm lens as I crouched at the edge of the lake. I moved up and to the right for this image, switching to my Bessa and 50mm tak for the shot. The perspective shifts the viewpoint dramatically but the focal point, the two small plants emerging from and reflected by the lake, remains.
Like the tonal range you caught in this shot.
I like those two plants, they could make for their own image, stark and isolated. Nice!
Both are very nicely done. I like each one for different reasons and I’m glad that I don’t have to pick a favorite.
Yes, I, too, love the tonal range – and the reflection is particularly fine,
bringing to the foreground the contrasting side foliage. This time, the
two plants do seem further away thereby calling attention to the depth of the photo
as a whole.
Quite serene…a lovely image.
I love the serenity! Beautiful reflections and a superb capture as always! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Enjoy!

great reflection, two tones of the two trees.
What a lovely reflection in the black and white. The perfect medium for this image. You did an excellent job with your capture and composition. genie
