I love Koi - ended up at a Koi exhibition once where they were the oscar winners of the Koi world on display....these were some mighty fine fish, I can tell you.

A totally delicious shot. Seriously. Perfect composition and that oak leaf just sets everything off brilliantly. This is one I'd love to have framed here at the asylum. It's just gorgeous.
This is a definite keeper. I love the dark still water - I expect a frog to be poking his nose up at any minute. This is an extraordinary picture of the ordinary - many people would have just walked on by. Magnificent Monochrome Monday!

this is just a yummy shot - I really like it!
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely! :D Just my taste.
ReplyDeleteWorks perfectly in mono!
ReplyDeleteLovely composition Daryl....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Perfect posing by a leaf!
ReplyDeleteI thought that was holly at first but I think it must be Red Oak. Not oneI am familiar with.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great image.
Beautiful contrast.
ReplyDeleteExcellent definition!
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple shot but so sharp - I love it!
ReplyDeleteSorry I've not been around, we just got back from another weekend jaunt. :)
Truly outstanding Daryl!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

Nice contrast between values and shapes.
ReplyDeleteI feel like that oak leaf some days.

ReplyDeleteGreat shot Daryl! The contrast is way cool =)
ReplyDeleteBest presented in B & W! Great shot.

ReplyDeleteLovely photo...!
Wonderful contrast of light and dark, Daryl!
ReplyDeleteNice juxtaposition of both shapes and tones! This one should make the selection of the week.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast - and the mood... it works perfectly in monochrome :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo that reminds me fall is on the way!
ReplyDeleteWow. The drama. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOne of these things is not like the others... Okay I'll stop. Very cool in B&W. Not sure I would have thought to shoot it that way. But very neat.
ReplyDeleteLike the contrasts, the shapes and the tones.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is good.

ReplyDeleteThat is a winner! It could not have been done in colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the contrast of the round and pointed leaves and the light and dark. Absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteclassically perfect!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking! What a study in contrasts. You have a wonderful eye.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Would not have been at all as effective in color...how do you know to do these things (practice, practice, practice)?
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great shot. Amazing how a single leaf stands out so well on the lily pads.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Daryl! Quite striking, actually!
ReplyDeleteYou're so darn creative!
Such stillness. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture, great shot!
ReplyDeleteYou need to put these pictures in a book!
ReplyDeleteJust a lovely picture!

Who would have ever thought that b&w lily pads could be so beautiful? The leaf really makes a difference, too.
ReplyDeleteI wanna go back! Now!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular...much better in mono than color (I think..)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The contrast in shape, texture and tone is lovely.
