Reflection on Symmetry, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

Another capture from the T.E. Meeting. We parked at the lot adjacent to the East Gate Entrance to Yosemite Park, on the Tioga Pass Road, then walked out into a meadow filled with small ponds. The wind was ruffling the surfaces but I found this spot tucked away out of the wind. This shot is looking back in a northward direction toward the Tioga Pass road. If you look carefuly you can see 3 T.E. members in the meadow.

I was struck by the symmetry of the "hourglass lake" juxtaposed with the symmetry of the reflection in the lower lake.

Hi Larry. The reflections on the pond look very nice. I like the shape of the lakes and how you framed the water under the mountain on the back. The meeting definitely was a good time to shoot good scenes. Thanks Larry.

Hi Larry,
It seems to be a growing trend to organize TE meetings near a pond or a lake ;-)
It gave you a subject for a beautiful nature picture, these ponds with their reflections and the preserved nature all around are lovely, a nice image with fine techs.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

A nice reflexion here.

Larry, your eyes have to so much better than mines. I barely can make us out and I usually look very carefully at posts, but this time it was only your note that made me see us. You're right, the hourglass composition is a striking one. Well seen!

Hi Larry
I'm not a fan of reflections, but here I like the shape of the "hourglass" ponds.
Cheers,

Hi Larry,

I love the hourglass shape .. I really like how the reflection does not envelop the foreground but is just a small portion of it .. it is like some sort of window .. beautiful image.

take care,

John

Hello Larry,
A lovely piece of nature, presented in this fine composition!
This must be at an altitude sine there are remains of snow and brownish grass as late as early June...
A nice sharp image with a pleasant reflection!
