I do have another couple of shots to put up from my trip up to Fleetwood with John at the weekend but I think this is probably my favourite. Well, either this one or the one I'll be putting up on Thursday. And like the shot I put up on Sunday (before anyone asks), this is an entirely natural reflection.

We have a similar eye for a picture, I must revisit your neck of the woods again, this is a lovely composition...

A very pleasing and somehow soothing image; something about balance I guess, which always works for me. There is also an undercurrent of the artificial, although I know it's not, just well composed and beautifully processed.

Lovely reflection again.
It must be something about the weather at the moment, but I had a few hours a few weekends ago when the pools between the sand banks were as still as a mill pond, which produced some great reflections and enough pictures to last me over a week.

That is just spectactular.

Digging it, david. The pastel blues are wonderful, and I love the reflection. Something about the way the sand and subject break up the blues is very interesting. Great work.

Great shot! Looks like a nice image for a Pink Floyd album! :-)
comment byJM° at 11:49 PM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Juste superbe ;-)

ohhh.. peaceful ;)

The sense of weight from the "monuments" and the stillness of the water give the image a fantasy feel. Not quite sci-fi, but a little beyond our normal world.

Very relaxing image...I love the tones. I agree with Alice;-)
comment by Cy Starkman at 06:27 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
There is something soft and calming about this. Beautiful shot
comment byP.J. at 07:38 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
Very well done. Excellent color and depth.
comment by Roger at 07:42 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
A beautifully balanced picture. I really like tone of the shot which adds to the feeling of calm..........
comment bynavin at 07:49 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
Absolutely amazing. Great shot

Since I've shifted jobs I haven't been visiting Chromasia daily as I used to. I've just been catching up on some of what I've missed - congratulations for the new addition to your family. All the best to you and yours this Christmas.

I love the cool colours. It's almost like a landscape you would see in a sci-fi film.
comment byOvidiu at 10:58 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
Perfect symmetry! Breaking the rule of thirds... Beautiful!
comment byriesenriel at 12:18 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
Impressive and peaceful. Really nice composition.
comment by Tomcat at 12:51 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
Hi Dave,
here is my impression: I think the type of pictures you posted changed a little bit.
I don't know if it's only my imagination but for example the pictures before (let's say):
http://www.chromasia.com/iblog/archives/0603201805.php
Did you change something?
comment by Jennifer at 02:14 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
HDR by any chance? Lovely colour and compo though!
comment by Arthur at 04:20 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
I actually don’t like this one quite as much as the previous two, but I really like the style of all three.
comment byleese at 04:36 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006

I love the tone and colour of this image and the low point of view makes for a great reflection.
Love the composition and tones, nice image.
Thanks everyone :-)
Nice reflections and lovely toning. Great capture.
Amazing shot
Subtle - I love the symetry and muted colours
Beautiful processing Dave.
Simply stunning. The fact its a perfectly natural reflection even better. Its images like this one that keep me coming back again and again.
Very relaxing image. Beautiful
Quit beauitful.
