I took this shot for Isao challenge "my reflection in a misty mirror"
I have post also today a second picture on that theme where you can see me better here and which is in the continuation of the serie BW and colors.
To see all the pictures of the participants:
Isao and dj.tigersprout

YES!!! Just awesome!!! But you are so small!!! ;) This is a stunning shot Olivier!! I just LOVE the dynamic arch of the water from the spout -- and the gentle flowing of it back into the drain!! GORGEOUS color and composition -- and the clarity is truly spot on!! BRAVO to you!! Now i will check your other shot!!! :D

j'adore ta photo, la composition, les tons, l'effet de l'eau qui tombe, mais le sujet est traité de manière minimaliste. Heureusement qu'il y a l'autre photo qui nous en dévoile un peu plus ;o)

A great composition; the speed gives some very impressive, abstract, surreal forms.

Je trouve cette photo très belle, même si on ne voit pratiquement que tes mains et ton fidèle G9 avec lequel tu fais des prouesses chaque jour.... eau, source de la vie... il ya a quand même un côté symbolique, sur cette photo... pour rester "soft" sur l'interprétation...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh j'aime !!!
original, et vraiment il fallait penser et oser tenter le coup, tu as bien réussi à faire le point sur ton reflet, et à conserver le dynamisme crée par l'eau qui coule... BRAVO !
dire que je ne l'ai pas vu le jour du challenge (-(
heureusement qu'aujourd'hui je me balade chez toi, tu te rends compte j'ai faillis ne jamais la voir...
Excuse-moi, et surtout merci pour ce trés bel auto-portrait.
