Photo Hunt #51: Ripples


IMG_0919, originally uploaded by M'roy.

I told myself, finally a theme that I found easy. Easy because I don't have to do any thinking at all. I have taken a number of water-related images that would certainly qualify for the theme.

Here's my entry for today, a shot of boaters at the pond in Central Park.

    Wonderful photo. So peaceful and romantic (even if it does look like she is talking on her cell, LOL).

    I think I'm going to love the theme this weekend!

    @ ANNIE -- I found that queer too, she does appear to be talking on the cell. Leave the cell and concentrate on the moment :)

    The row boat on the river looks very inviting.

    Nice shot! It's fun rowing on that lake, though the water does get a bit crowded at times.

    Rowing around peaceful waters is a great way to spend time! At least the guy in the photo looks as if he is in the moment! Quite strange about the girl being on a cellphone!

    We humans seem to respond to "water" very favorably in life and in our pictures. This photo today is a good example. It is so appealing to think of boating in Central Park. A fine picture.

    I like how you composed the picture - the boat and couple in the front with a bit of mystery, the framing branches and then the destination in the distance. Nice job.

    Ahh... the pond at the Central Park! I've passed by here many times and yet never found a time to even just unwind on a boat. How relaxing this would be!
