Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
That's beautiful Mike....the processing is not overdone which is fantastic to see. It's just right!
I'm not sure about the small branch sticking out of the water as it looks neither here nor there if you know what I mean.

@Ian Bramham: I know what you mean about the stick. I think I'll clone it out.
Claus Petersen from herfølge, Denmark
Amazing reflection, so cool and crisp! Nice shot!

@Claus Petersen: Thanks Claus.
P J W Miller from Chase Terrace, United Kingdom
A nice composition of a pleasant calming scene, agree with above about the stick, sort of draws the eye to it away from the background

@P J W Miller: What stick? ;)
Anthony Lambert from Bielefeld, Germany
Wonderful reflections and a very peaceful and serene scene(I take it the afore mentioned stick has already been removed ??!!)

@Anthony Lambert: Yes I sneakily removed it when nobody was looking.

Looking good. It has that clean and fresh look and lovely inky darks.

Thanks John. I didn't really do much in the way of PP with this one, just a little dodging and burning, a minor increase in contrast and a slight tweak of the red and yellow to warm the land up a bit.

@DarkElf: Thank you. It's really only the painting like reflections that make the picture work for me.
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
I know you're happy with this one. A stellar capture!

@Stephen Phillips: Yeah I was quite pleased but I can still pick a lot of faults with it, as I can with all my photos. The day I stop picking faults is probably the day I give up learning and then it's probably time to quit :) cheers Stephen.
