by CJ in CA

Contemplating
the leaves of autumn,
I click the shutter

A "modern" Haiku

From Wikipedia:
"Some of the more common practices in English are:
* Use of three (or fewer) lines of 17 or fewer syllables;
* Use of a season word (kigo);
* Use of a cut (sometimes indicated by a punctuation mark)..."

Interesting contrast between the rocks and the leaf - heavy, light; dark, bright; rounded, sharp. Somehow you got it to all balance out - Paul

Thanks aam and Rod. This pond is now covered with snow - so much for sunny California! :-) CJ

Harmony was the first thing that came to mind. Good work, CJ.

You've created quite a unique look with that polarizer Carole. This image screams zen to me. -Doug

Thanks all! It was fun trying to capture something that said "Zen" to me in a more traditional way. I used a circular polarizer (for the first time :-D) to get rid of the reflections in the water and was amazed at how much light it cuts down in the shade. It was interesting to see how much more detail you can see in the bottom of the pond now. CJ
