Consider the following photo:
Glimpse of a Tree – B&W
Glimpse of a Tree – Darker
Glimpse of a Tree – Color
Did you figure out right away that it’s another one of those reflections in a puddle, like yesterday’s photo? Or did it initially mislead you, like it did me when I first looked at on the computer. To me, at first glance it looked more like glimpsing a tree through a fogged-up window pane, rather than seeing a reflection in a puddle on the edge of the sidewalk. I played with the B&W and Darker versions to try enhancing that illusion a little. See what you think.
Yes, I know, you probably guessed what was going on since you’re on to my tricks now, right? 😉 What can I say, I am finding an upside to all these little rain storms is the number of puddles I run across while walking around Tübingen. And they all seem to provide so many nice reflection photo ops.
BTW, one of these days I made just fool you and really take a photo through a fogged-up window pane. So, never assume. 😉
Love the B&W!
The second one with the good contrast is my favorite the pattern of the puddle with the branches looks like a woman jogger, being accosted by a goose.
or driving a golf cart. In fact now all of are that…
Thanks for the comments. I’m not sure I see the jogger, Kathy, but I do sometimes get a quick impression of a peacock with plummage from the second one.
