About the Image(s)

I took this earlier this Spring, before any outdoor flowers appeared This is on the dam that generates the Quabbin Reservoir that supplies water to Boston, 90 miles to the East. My original intent was to capture the clouds, but an oncoming family gave me the opportunity to include the boy. To me, the red hat adds a lot to the image. This was taken with an iPhone and lightly processed to increase the contrast in the clouds.

Fun to see pre-flower season!

I really like what you did with this! Interesting sky, great reflection in the water, nice lines with wall and stone edge and a cute kid--I really want to adjust his bike for his size, ha ha.

My only suggestion would be to crop up a bit on the road and bring us closer to the beauty in the scene.   Posted: 05/03/2025 02:13:35

Love the clouds and the red hat. Have you thought about ding this with a square crop?   Posted: 05/06/2025 22:27:13
