Still Water

In water's stillness
I'll reflect my inner soul
Into endless depths

My winning photo on a Dutch internet photography contest. April's topic was: along the water side. Here's the link to all 250 submitted photo's. http://www.seniorweb.nl/fotowedstrijd/ingezondenfotonom.asp?ThemeID=13

I don't believe I've seen such still water - we have so much wind...and yours is as placid as a silk nighty on the floor...

Titia! I'm so proud of you!

Oh my gosh, it's absolutely fabulous, fantastic, great and outstanding.

You are a genius with that camera. What kind of camera did you use to take this?

And no one dared to tell me I had a typo in there

LOL, discovered it myself.

Thanks so much for your support.
It seems to be a prize photo. On another photo website I got chosen as best photographer of the day. LOL and I don't know anything about the techniques of photography actually

I just click that camera.

The photo is extremly beautiful. I think poetry and photography go hand in hand as they are doing the same thing "capturing a moment".

absolutely lovely, Titia, the poem, too!

I peeked in to have a look and the initial visit found your photo certainly the most striking. It's easy to see why it captured the judges' eyes. Well done!!! BRAVO!!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

This is wonderful news !
And ... the photo is serenity personified~

Congratulations sweet lady~

You know you've turned me on to the digital photography ... it's ALL YOUR FAULT !
Now if ... IF ... someday I can lens-capture something as beautiful as this ... I'd be elated~
