BROKEN
Tim chose this weeks theme and he came away with a corker of a photo. Very well done Timmy.
For me, I had hoped that a Saturday spent roaming around Bath would have given me a plethora of shots to choose from, but alas, even though I had to deliver a broken iMac to a store in Bath, because of the miserable and rather cold weather the camera stayed locked in its bag.
Instead, I went for a walk on the Sunday and knew something was bound to turn up.
I found a broken fence that was, at first glance ,perfect and I took a few shots in the bushes. However, walking back I wasn't particularly pleased that I found something so obviously broken. I'm deeper than that, more artistic even, right?
And that's when I found this shot. I shared a phrase with a close friend many years ago and it's stuck around with me at various times "One man's gem is another man's stone". There are lots of similar lines out there, but fundamentally it's a simple message and in this case, whilst the path is 'broken' it's a mirror into a stunningly beautiful reflection. And perhaps it's then far from broken. Or something equally as deep and inspirational. Maybe.
Once more black and white and a little vinaigrette-ing too.
As I'm already 5 days late and had very little time for post-processing, I would like to concede that I would have preferred to add more 'snap' to the reflection, but this will suffice.
