A last in my recent Rambling with Ricoh in Suffolk series where the imperfection of slow shutter gives these wading birds the appearance of a pen and ink illustration. Just goes to show photography is not always best when perfect
One for Monochrome Monday

Oh, such a beautiful “pen & ink” drawing! 😉
thank you Marina – when the camera does an art cheat without any post edits 🙂
I’m sure the eye behind the camera had a lot to do with the art! 😉
you are too kind – it would be nice to think so
Oh, I think you should!
It’s beautiful, I love the wriggly reflections.
thanks Jude – at first, I was disappointed with this photo but came to see its merits, wriggly reflections especially
yes, the reflections. indeed. sort of another layer, from some other mother, here motion at the feet of being still. rather sublime that companionship.
appreciate your feedback Neil especially that notion of the companionship
