Iced Pool and Winter Forest - a photo on Flickriver

            Working on this photograph was a challenge. I remember that grey morning and my uncertainty about capturing anything interesting in these conditions. But often the best way to learn is to try, especially when it comes to film photography. Add a discovery of a small pool with frozen water by a series of little cascades, and making an exposure became inevitable. My idea worked well: I wanted to juxtapose textured rocks and ice in the foreground to the winter forest in the distance. The white water of the stream served as a boundary that separates two parts of the image, presenting their subjects on different scales. I like an intimate feel of the foreground with its details, and the delicate network of branches in the background, that can be appreciated only from a distance. The negative, though, came out a bit flat, and I was not sure if it holds the qualities I wanted. It took me a few days of thinking and several attempts to interpret the scene. I'm glad that I did not give up.
