This is a beautiful photograph. Although I've seen a lot of medium shutter speed waterscapes on deviantART lately, I haven't seen a lot of square and black & white ones. The texture in the stones is well captured, the water is beautiful in b&w, and the plants in the water does a lot to make this picture come alive. What this shot lacks is some more originality. The composition and technique is irreproachable (except it seems to be slightly askew), but altogether it doesn't leave much of an impact, because I seem to have seen it before. I kind of wish there was some object placed somewhere in the picture to add a certain meaning to it all. This could also have been a magnificent backdrop for a portrait. An old boat on the water, a family of rubber ducks, children playing... something like that would add so much to this picture. Still, like I said, this is definitely beautiful, though it might not be the flagship of this talented artist's portfolio.
