Hurdegaryp: walking the dogs

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 27 February 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

"With unwilling dogs one cannot catch hares"
Dutch proverb meaning that you need motivated people to co-operate with. Here one would say: "cannot catch ducks", the dogs must also be willing which they don't seem to be :). The ducks are "Common Mergansers" (Dutch: "Grote Zaagbekken").

One way or another I found the unusual composition a bit Japanese or Chinese.

This is my first experiment with the photoprocessing program "Gimp". I removed the reflection of a tree at the left edge of the picture which disturbed the smooth light blue water surface. If you look well you can see the traces of removing.

Thank you for visiting my p-blog and leaving your comment and advice!
