Description
Isolating a section of pond reeds to create a minimalistic semi-abstract nature scene. This scene was captured on the calm and serene waters of Jordan Pond, Acadia National Park.
The simplicity of this setting was wonderful, I was captivated the moment I noticed the rhythmic patterns. Moments after the sun dipped below the horizon the sky became illuminated with meditative pastel hues of pinks and purples.
This print will display quite nicely in any number of media. Metal prints will certainly play out nicely with the vivid colors.

Very relaxing photograph to look at, really like the minimalist composition for those blades of grass and soft pink tones. Nicely done!

Thanks William. I have (2) Limited Editions from the same evening - but different compositions of the grass reeds, on my official website. The meditative, relaxing mood they convey is what most clients tell me attracted them to the artworks.

I would like to take a brief moment to thank the FineArt gallery "BEST OF MINIMALISM-photos" for featuring this print on their page

Beautiful colors - love the simplicity of the lines of the reeds and their reflections in this minimalistic composition. One of my two Picks of the Day in the Best of Minimalism in Photography group for April 17.
