I love the reflection in the water and the sun that is dappling through the trees and on the water, I agree with DJ, it has a kind of eerie feel and is absolutely beautiful! Well done!

This again reminds me of 19th century photography in the sort of "wavy" feel to the image, like looking through old glass. I don't find it eerie myself, but somehow rather peaceful and quiet. Thanks for sharing.

@GJC: maybe 20th century plastic has similar qualities? thanks for the great comment.
@Ana Lúcia: thanks ana lucia

Astounding how a simple scene can convey emotion, mood, mystery and then melt back into a small woodland pool again.

I tried a bunch of shots like this in my film days but I never managed to get any to come out as good as this one.

Very nice. Holga brings a total entire feeling to landscape photography.

@Howard F.: thanks howard. i go from loving to hating the holga. i'll use nothing but for months at a time, then not touch it for a year.

Great work -- sometimes hard to make a 'nature scene' interesting, but you've created cool mood that's dreamy and a little spooky, our eyes begin in the water and are taken back into the woods...

@Kurt: i appreciate that kurt. i rarely take nature shots for the very reason you mentioned.
