Viper from Chennai, India

Nice, but i would have cropped out the scene beyond the far bank.

@Viper: Thanks for your thoughts Viper, in my opinion that would cut out all the beautiful contrasting colour... each to their own. Thanks for stopping by.

Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand

I wouldn't crop this one, I like the colors and framing and the reflection is great!

@Monique: Many thanks Monique!

papa bear from sydney, Australia

No cropping needed, the scene gives foreground, middle & the nice depth of the background.... the reflection of the green in reality, then in virtual colour leading to the blue sky reflection in the foreground balances this scene very well! Nice depth of field.,

@papa bear: awww shucks, thanks Papa Bear! Written like a true poet!

Erik from Amersfoort, Netherlands

Have to agree with papa bear, the shot is nice because you have a lot of variety of color ans if you start cropping you loos that... I think it;'s fine, I would have personally just a adjusted the sky a bit to get some more color in there.

@Erik: Thanks for stopping by Erik, yes, perhaps I could have manipulated the sky a little. Thanks for your thoughts.

Wow this is just beautiful!! I feel like I want to walk slowly into the water and just soak up the magical, tranquil atmosphere. There has to be a Fairy or two living here:-))). Thank you for your words too about the site. I'm in total agreement. Ahhh life is good:-)))

It's gorgeous! Terrific choice of spot and exposure. Love the bright background behind dark foreground. Where was it Kylie?

@Sasmito: Thank you for your kind comments Sasmito, the place, it's a beautiful little lake in my home town of Richmond NSW, Australia, it has a park there with ducks, geese, swans and lots of other birdlife... I visit there often as it is a really tranquil and beautiful place to just sit and absorb he surroundings. Thank you for stopping by my page and your time in leaving your kind comments.

Very nice, the way the blue reflected foreground water contrasts with the warmer tones of the rest of the image is excellent, a lovely shot indeed.

Beautiful composition. This sort of shot is not as easy to do right as it may look because it can be difficult to get the highlights under control, but you have it all together here.
