Fantastic effect! :)

It almost has the feel of an old painting, aged and blistering.

Dev.

wow, cool

Well b***er me!! I think this will shut all the naysayers from yesterday up! Very nice indeed, gorgeous colours and a shot I know I wouldn't have seen!!

Wow, I agree with Paul, this surely will. The metallic like colours are just incredible, the way you've presented this is great. I'm a big fan of reflections.

i grree gavin& paul, very nice reflection, it makes it thought of another picture of tree reflected in water, but i cant remind me where i saw it.

Great david

and once again you've done it....

WOW.....

not much to say but WoW

Yes, agreed, very nice reflection and texture.

I see what you mean with you reply to my question yesterday. This picture is very nice, as was the one yesterday, but this has a more tangible critique point. It’s just easier to say why this is a good photo and that calls for more comments.

Cool effect on this one! But by turning it up-side-down it makes the waves go upwards and me get whimsy. :) But I love the colors, the golden crust.

Yeah, the inversion is a nice touch. Great color in the reflection; seems later than the 12:51 indicated in your EXIF info.

awesome!
gorgeous reflection! :)

Excellent image. Every element of this photo works in every way. Well done.

I've always been a fan of your reflection shots and this one is no exception :)

Glad to see you made the most of the sunshine for its brief appearance

Awesome reflection of the iconic tower, i love the tones. Well captured as usual... you sure have done it again, WOW!

F.A.B. :-)

magic!

Strangely enough I wasn't overly enamoured with it at first Dave but further viewing has brought me round somewhat, the top left corner making an impact. Just think...if you lived in Paris... ;-)

Beautiful shot.

This is so... spectacular!

Hey I posted reflections this whole week but people don't understand that it's a reflection!

Like the way the way you choose to compose the picture, sorting the texture from small to big against the reflection.

Beautiful shot; looks like a Monet.

fantastic shot again. I love the "tin foil" effect. Reminds me a lot of this one, which, ironically, I didn't find in your "water reflections" category of your archives.

I usually just sneak peak and no comment, but this one I have to. Brilliant frame. Looks like a fn painting

very very unique shot :) beautiful

Wow, so very talented. At first I tought it was the Eiffel Tower... :)

Very interesting shot! Nice colours, and I like how the water dissolves at the bottom of the pic

Wonderful. Brilliant colors, perfect toning. it looks like a comic. perfect !

hehe, such a cool reflection!

Amazing! You've got these reflection shots down to a fine art!

Nice reflection! I really like this shot!

This is gorgeous! It calls to mind a pensive person, always deep in thoughts, always looking down. You always have very innovative ideas. :)

Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Presenting it upside-down creates a tension that keeps me looking at the photo. When I look at the bottom of the photo, all is well. There is a Monet-like sweetness and I relax into the photo, my eyes move smoothly across it and I slowly take it in. When I look at the top of the photo nearer the shoreline, my brain registers that something is "wrong". My eyes jump around trying to resolve the upside-downess of it and I get a slightly dizzy, sick feeling. It's a deceptively demanding photo. Love it.

Oops. Backwards ... should be "top of the photo AWAY from the shoreline". See, it has got me dizzy!

Art reflecting art? I too thought of Monet and the expansive warm colors he used in "The Hôtel des Roches Noires at Trouville," but I also thought the "style" was reminiscent of pieces by Pissarro and others. Oddly, I prefer the strength of this presentation over many classical pieces. How's that for a shot that stimulates?

My compliments. The simultaneous presentation of three elemental planes fascinates me. There is the flat scene of the tower and buildings, the montage of gradients of color from yellow to blue, and the water-carved texture from bold sweeps down to that busy section. Yet, the planes are not mixed haphazardly. The shot is busy where it can be busy and flowing where it must be.

Walking by the same scene, I think I could have noticed any one of those elements and enjoyed it until the light changed. I don't think I would have noticed all three simultaneously. And if I had, would I have noticed them upside down? Lastly, would I have had a camera? Oh, how I do wish!

apologize for my rudeness yesterday, glad to see this one, bravo!

I really enjoy your creativity.

Could I trouble you for your view? 17-40 or 24-105 L F4? You use your 17-40 a lot, but if buying now which would you choose? PS I have the same camera (sadly don't get the same results!!!). Thanks

Thanks everyone.

Jennifer: I'm not sure which 24-105 you're referring to, but either way I suspect I'd recommend the 17-40, it's an excellent lens.

i really love this photoblog..
all of 'em are gorgeous..!!
dream to be like u..

Amazing shot.

This is beautifully evil. Much reminds me of an MC Escher print with a hint of impressionism or the other way around. Well done!

Thats a great reflection image. Looks like you were in the right place at the right time. Nice one.

Lovely.

The first thing I thought of when seeing this image was "it is a Monet". Lovely shot!

Great reflection shot.

I love this shot, for me its one of your best shots yet. Thats proably because I'm fascinated by such reflective shots. Bravo!

Very creative! Nice work!

Love the shot!

THis reminds me of the Eiffel tower (even knowing it's not).
Great picture!

This is a great reflection, particularly its colour. Good work.
