Congrats.

Maybe you've seen Lord Snowdon's portrait of JRR Tolkein that's actually closer to Armando's first image!

The whole place has a bit of magic, regarding Aguinaldo's comment I related it to the movies , not necessarily to the writer, anyway , it is nice to see a portrait of Tolkien

Post by: Mikes on January 05, 2018, 07:16:11: Beautiful images, Armando. The standout for me is "After sunrise".

I believe that it is a popular place to visit - it must be quite a challenge to capture images that are free of people.

Hello Akira, here in Camecuaro there are a few ducks and geese, I also visited another much larger lake - Chapala - where I shot the pelicans

I love that tree! Those roots are insane. Do you happen to know what kind of tree it is, Armando?
Title: Re: Morning at the lake
Post by: armando_m on January 07, 2018, 02:11:58: James, thanks for the comment, the tree in spanish is called Sabino, or Ahuehuete , it is a kind of cypress , here is more info:

Great stuff. I like the moody texture of #1, the promise of the day to come in #2.

It is fun to work a spot over and over again, looking for new perspectives and subjects. I think you learn a lot doing that.

Cheers
