Hot on the heels of the small clutch of reeds in my previous post – Chance Finding – I spotted this line of reed stems. Some standing proud, others bowed and bent – each one reflected – they suggested a Hieroglyph.
Images like this, divorced from any other feature within the water, appear to float in space: which is why they appeal to me so much. They are also transient – in a few days this creation of shapes will be amended as the reeds grow. The composition might improve, but more likely it will become muddled and the simplicity of the current form will be lost.

they surely act as a magnet to most photographers. these have lovely shapes.

Thanks Paula. Images are always about shape and form – but sometimes those elements are in the small things. So often we look at the big picture and ignore the detail.

Love it! I’m all for form and simplicity….oh, and negative space!

Thanks Sue. You are right, negative space is important – but it’s a concept that doesn’t get a lot of coverage, sadly.

Transience is a beautiful thing, and this has great lightness to it. No heavy hand here!

Thank you Lynne. I agree – it’s all about lightness and delicateness. A strong wind and this would be ruined.
