Magie, magie ... que j'aime ces arbres qu'on dit pleureur ... Douceur et volupté me font plonger dans ton univers que j'apprécie tout particulièrement.

There is a distinct mood to this, I was going to say that I felt it was one of melancholy, but the more i think about it I reckon it's one of optimism. Great shot.

Love that mist behind and that weeping tree is just fabulous in this mood, his long hair floating above the water and I just love how it mirrors and seems to brush against it. Soothing and so sweet feelings here. Have a nice friday, dear*

I will sit down & rest right here. What a beautiful & peaceful feeling. A slightly melancholic atmosphere & a stunning photograph, Sharon! Over & over again you conquer my mind, soul & eyes. A great image! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Une image qui donne envie de s'asseoir sur ce banc, non pas pour pleurer sous ce saule pleureur mais pour méditer et profiter de cette ambiance brumeuse et feutrée...
Magnifique N&B
Bonne journée

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom
Magical dreamy image, the only criticism is the position of the watermark. It looks like a painted on advert on the embankment.

harry from ndhun, Bhutan
Nicely composed. I like the overall limited tonal range to define the dreary day and thus the dreary mood.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan
Oh my. I just don't know where to begin with this one. The compo? Perfect. The scene of the bench and the drooping tree kissing the water? Sublime. The reflection and fog? Mysterious. This is like a b&w copy of an impressionist painter's masterpiece. 5 star work!

i love this. it's interesting the way the branches stop just shot of the water - like a shaggy headed boy has gotten a quick and severe trim.

I really like how the reflection tries to impose on me but is only allowed a small part. The subtle tones are neatly done too! As usual you astound!

This could bring tears to my eyes. First is my love of the weeping willow...(it has childhood connections) and then the fog...another love of mine. Just wonderful. Could you inspire me more?
