Watery willow tree

The semi-abstract reflections that objects make in water has always fascinated me. That's partly because it's not until you have the photograph that you know precisely how the image will look. This shot was taken on the River Avon near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, last December before the willows had lost all their leaves. The swirling patterns that the water imparts to the reflected trees reminds me of some of the brushwork in Van Gogh's later paintings.
