Time for James’ Weekend Reflections, a fun photo challenge where we try to capture reflections. Reflections are everywhere, even on a foggy gloomy day. This canal is just around the corner from where I live. I love how moody my photos turn out on a day like this, but that was exactly what I was looking for.
PS: There was a request in the comments by Moneythoughts. I quote:
“I, like all the comments before me, like the photo too. But, I would like to see the same photo cropped at the bottom along a line equal to that running across the top of the picture so the reflection of the trees would be in perfect balance. It was just a thought. Enlarged to the size of a wall, I bet it would be exciting to stand before it.”
Thanks Fred, I had been wondering which one would be better too, so I’m going to publish the other version. That way the other visitors can tell me what they think too.
So here is the original version before I cropped it:
So what do you think, which one do you like best?

It's moody and gray, but uplifting at the same time, Jientje! Beautiful!
This photo speaks Wuthering Heights to me... It's beautiful.
Exactly what I was looking for too....
loved this one!
Stunning photo, Jientje.
I, like all the comments before me, like the photo too.

Lovely, Jientje. Even a cold, gray day has beautyif one just looks for it.
It's a beautiful photo. I love the way you capture a mood with your photography
Love the mood. Color can be very creative when the contrast is so low as you've done here.
I think I like the second picture best.
This is a beautiful photo ... really puts me in a thoughtful mood.
oh my gorgeous~
Lovely!!! I must say I like the second one, whichever way it is a beautiful photo, great job taking it!!!

Beautiful reflections!
I love the mood you have captured. I like both shots...they each serve a different purpose. The original gives the "whole" picture. The cropped photo leaves a little to the imagination. Both beautiful.

This is a beautiful reflection, the mood is wonderful. I am confused, though. I thought that moneythoughts had suggested cropping the bottom of the photo, rather than the top? Either way, this is a beautiful reflection shot! Kathy
Stunning reflection!
Great shot. I really like the gloomy look. Maybe I'm missing something but the top and the bottom photo look the same to me.
