[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture late in the afternoon on the day I made a walk at the Oisterwijkse bossen en vennen (English: Oisterwijkse forest and fens). It's located south of Oisterwijk, a little town near Tilburg in the dutch provence Noord-Brabant.
It was a very nice and sunny day but at this time the sun was hiding behind the clouds.
What I like about this view is the reflection the branches are making in the water.

From the internet:

The fens where formed thousands of years ago when strong storms swept across the Oisterwijk region, which was in that time made out of sand. The storms created low-lying plains which where then filled with rain (the rain could not get away through the ground).

The woodlands are mainly composed with conifers. They were planted there artificially several decades ago and are now slowly vanishing. By doing so, they make way for new trees, such as the oak, the birch, and the beech.

Hello Nel,
Lovely landscape.I liked POV,reflections on water and framing a lot.
TFS..:-)

Hoi Nel,
Een beetje donker, maar zeker een erg mooi omgeving en ook erg mooi weten te fotograferen. Vooral de compositie met de meerrand in het midden is mooi. En een leuke doorkijk.
Groeten,
Niek

This is difficult scene to expose for properly because there is such a wide range from dark to light. I feel the composition is a little cluttered. I have a problem taking photos near to where I live because there is so much undergrowth in the woods that finding a simple composition is next to impossible. I tried a workshop that most will probably think is too controlled but I think is kind of fun.

TFS
