I adore this...simply adore it!

stick a fork in me...I'm done! Wow, where is this?! The mist, the reflections, the POV...this is it for me!

Fantastic shot love the regression through the picture, The colouring is great that green weed on the posts is just wow Good shots like this never come easy. :0 )

an image that was worth the trouble....

spectacular! I have to agree with jacoggins- entirely worth the trouble.

Thanks for the comments...this was taken near Vancouver Canada. There is some history behind this place if anyone's interested: In the early 1900's, this spot was occupied by one of the largest sawmills in the British Empire. The mill was built in 1889 at the site of a new CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway)station. David MacLaren, the owner, named it "Barnet" after his wife's family. The Barnet Mill stood unused untill 1899 when economic conditions at last made it's operation worthwhile. A settlement grew up around the mill, and by 1909 the village of Barnet boasted 21 families, a school, post office, telegraph office, CPR station, police, water and electrical services. However, the Depression ended Barnet's prosperity and the mill closed in 1931. It reopened in 1939 as the Kapoor Sawmill, but was destroyed by fire in 1946. Plans to rebuild the mill to it's former scale never materialized, and the town began to fade. A small replacement mill was finally dismantled in 1958. Today, few traces remain of the once-prosperous mill and town. This story was taken from a plaque near-by. Hope you found this as interesting as I did. Just goes to show you that there is history everywhere, you just gotta look for it :)

This is all worth the trouble. This is wikked exposure huh. I love it! :-) (Thanks for the history lesson, too! Woohoo...) (*

All you had to do was clone in a couple more birds then things would be perfect. As it is I wonder who shot the two birds! Seriously good picture. But for me the peir ruins the feeling. Bsteph

Ooooh! Very nice. Cloned birds and everything.

Well crap, there goes the may challenge. I bow humbly to the reward of your effort. This has been added to my folder of ideas to paint. Way beyond my talent but still a source of inspiration. Thanks for the history also. I can imagine a whole book built on this subject.

Actually, no cloning took place in this shot...just some resizing and a little color saturation.

I'm pretty sure bsteph was joking about the cloning, but it just goes to show you that a lot of photography is being in the right place at the right time. Stroke of luck that the birds were lined up so perfectly!

Yea, no offence taken, just wanted it known so there was no confusion. I'm sure if I would've waited long enough the birds would've cooperated :)

This is an excellent shot! Fantastic!

Stunning, and interesting history. More than Excellent!
