Half-and-Half: This was an interesting challenge and not that easy either. I realised that instinctively I compose my photos into thirds – foreground, object and distance, or right, left and above. This photograph of Cape Town has been cropped to form a half-and-half study
A slightly different ‘half-and-half’, this time the two halves being formed by the object and its reflection. This is the River Saone, taken in flood.
Tricky ‘half-and-half’ here. 🙂 On the right is a seal lying on its front. On the left is a seal facing the opposite way, and lying upside down. This was taken on the Waterfront in Cape Town.
And here the half-and-half is a diagonal division between light and shade. This is Guetin lock on the Lateral a la Loire. It’s one of the deepest on that stretch of waterway; be sure your ropes are long enough if you’re planning on passing through this one!

Sandra, I like all of these (and the seals are adorable), but the tree photo rocks!

Thanks Janet. That tree photo didn’t look anything special until I applied a few editing techniques. 😉

The reflection of the tree in the calm floodwaters looks serene. Beautiful.

The seals are adorable, but the first photo of the town at night with the moon is striking.
