Beauty in the most unlikely location C&C welcomed

[KimC]

There was a lull in the snow storm, so in-between running errands, we stopped by the river to see if we could get lucky and see a bald eagle. No such luck, but I did spot this...

Oh how I have missed getting out and hunting for images. It always puts a smile on my face..

ISO 500; 1/160s; f7.1; 70mm

I like the primary subject and the good DOF , however the snow in the forefront is a distractraction, I know you wanted the reflection , but maybe trying to capture too much .

[KimC]

Thanks for viewing and commenting Raymond. I left the ice covered with snow in, as I thought it added to the coldness of the image. I'll have to give my view some additional thought. I do see that little ice piece on the bottom that I should have removed...

Well Kim, the picture I'm looking at certainly fits in with the title "Beauty in the most unlikely location" but I'm certain it's not the picture you posted

There seems to be a bug at the moment and this morning I found one of my Mangrove pictures replaced with a boy with 6 caps on, each numbered by someone with an arrow to them,

That's awesome, Kim. It sounds like that's local to where you live. If so, I'd say it's worth visiting under different lighting conditions, times of year, etc. Unlikely spot indeed. Nicely seen and captured.

Nicely seen and captured Kim. Next time you head out to this location I think it would be really cool to have the pillars with the graffiti more prominently in the foreground but that is not to take anything away form this shot...just another option

[Stagecoach]

Well this gets stranger because I'm still seeing a picture of which I know Kim has certainly not posted and others are seeing and commenting on something totally different

[Shadowman]

Nicely done, a lot of dangerous looking areas; I'd be tempted to explore further.

I am with Grahame...I do not know what you all are talking about but I am seeing a lady that perhaps just came out of the bath with one boob showing while she covers the other one. She's got long fingernails the same colour as her lippy.

[Stagecoach]

Now I see the correct image and not an imposter

Interesting Kim and well executed. I see other possibilities here, depending upon access, I'm sure you'll be back.

That was it Izzie, but I was not going to go into details

[mugge]

I like the image as is. I think the ice does it, just crop 3mm off the bottom. But that is only my opinion.
Cheers Mugge

[Marie Hass]

No - like Izzie, I see a chick with a boobie exposed!

I think tinypic got hacked? Even upon reloading, she remains.

Clearly, this thread has been hacked; I too am seeing a photo of an Asian women with a breast exposed..............Background is a little distracting, someone needs to go back to the drawing board and invest in back drops

This thing about a rogue image appearing to some people some of the time, is a fairly recent phenomenon and, thankfully, is pretty rare. With apologies to everyone, but unfortunately it's completely outwith CiC's control. It's something that's happening at the TinyPic end of things.

[Barbara Ponder]

Kim very cool photo. Almost looks like the inside of a Cathedral.

[KimC]

Thanks for clarifying Donald. I was not aware of this and was rather confused by Grahame and Izzie's comment.

Donald, with this going on, is there any need to be concerned with computer viruses?

Shane, I am a total graffiti junkie... Regretfully without being in a boat, there is no way to get closer to the graffiti and it was a bit too far for my lens. Thank you for commenting.

[KimC]

Yes, I agree Dan. Definitely plan to return here. Thank you for commenting and viewing.

Thanks John. Yes, when conditions are better, the area needs more exploration :-)
