TITLE: Water Vegetation #3

Simplicity and minimalism – this is pretty much what this photo is all about. You can find this notion in the low number of visual elements, and in the way the tips of the plants, respectively their reflections ever so silently imply a triangle, my favorite visual shape in photography.
Furthermore, what appeals to me in this image are the very subtle deficiencies in the water. These are created by the surface of the water and by me in post because I added grain and contrast. In modern times, when everybody strives for visual perfection, this decision may seem somewhat unusual or even unfortunate. To me, however, it proves what I have always said: There is beauty in imperfection.
