The Hidden Meaning Of Things Expressed In Silence

A peaceful and beautiful place expressed in silence….

Hidden stream on a cool and brisk day

All things, and man as well, should be like nature, without measure. Hans Jean Arp

Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished. –ย  Sir Francis Bacon

Nature has been mastering itself for some time now, and it is an honor to be able to capture its beauty. – Justin Beckett

  2. just beautiful. the rose color is soft and delicate, and contrasts sharply behind the crystal- like tree branches (they almost look like they are iced over.) Much to consider in this image’s complex simplicity ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Thank you Sheila. Your analysis of the piece is precisely what I wanted to achieve. A slightly saturated color tone against a crystalized landscape. I usually begin this effect with an underlying layer of the colored pencil effect mixed with sharpen effects. I want the photograph to migrate slightly towards a pencil drawing as an end result.

  7. That’s quite a shot. It must have taken you quite a while to find this place.

    • Thanks David. Actually the location is at the beginning of the trail head at Table Rock State Park. But there are numerous of hidden waterfalls throughout the mountain here.
