Maybry Mill

Along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia is Mabry Mill, probably one of the most photographed spots on the East Coast. This is my take... the reflection in the pond.

Love the effect Red! 4⭐️s from me😃

Thanks! This mill is so photographed you sometimes have to fight for position to get a shot. I wanted to do something different!

Well you certainly have achieved that Red. So am I right thinking that this is the reflection on the water and you just turned the photo upside down OR is this an effect you did in photoshop or somewhere. Either way I love it :)

Reflection on the water flipped and flopped left to right to appear as it would if shot normally!

Thought so, great idea, I love the effect :)

Beautiful picture of the reflection and really different approach!

Thank you Dora, this mill is so photographed you have to try something different to set your photo apart from the rest.

Frank, Nice impressionist effect, how ever I cannot understand the flipping of a reflection image to achieve the look and still call or credit in as as “reflection” once you “flip / flop” the image you are correcting the reflection effect. I think you would have a superior image if it remained as a reflection, however the trick here is including enough of the true scene to let the viewer know what they are looking at. Sorry just my (maybe not so humble) opinion.
