A quick light morning post before running off to the office: winter trees reflections in a spring puddle. It was photographed in March of 2009, on the embankment near the Hermitage Museum. For this publication I downscaled the image and slightly raised the contrast in Photoshop, but did not apply any black and white conversion - everything was photographed exactly as you see it.

Небольшой быстрый утренний пост, прежде чем убежать в офис: отражения деревьев в весенней луже. Было сфотографировано в марте далекого 2009 года, на набережной возле музея Эрмитаж. Для публикации я уменьшил картинку и немного поднял контраст в фотошопе, но никакой черно-белой конверсии не применял - все было сфотографировано именно так, как вы видите.
