So somber, serene, and a bit ominous, too. Bukowski is a great choice for this one. Beautiful image, Mike!

This reminds me of that old soap opera ‘Dark Shadows.’ Very hooky spooky, Mike. But I like it.

I like how the reflection of the trees in the water is not a mirror image. Almost looks like a ghostly castle just below the surface.

A castle would be cool but the water is only a few feet deep. It would have to be a very small castle! 🛕

Today my biggest fear came true: Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye! I was so distraught I took a bright happy photo and made it ominous and entrancing.

If it weren’t in monochrome, it wouldn’t look ominous. As is, it could go either way. Works well either way too.

Evocative indeed Mike – somehow I’m reminded of the very old movie Deliverance. Consider it a compliment that it made my blood run cold.

I don’t consider that a very old movie but a classic. OMG I’m classically old! 👴

A remarkable black and white image. The river is beautifully framed by the tree branches.
