Hi Pradeep,

This is great capture, combining a long enough exposure to imply movement on the water with perfect timing in capturing that deep red. I especially like the red reflecting down into the water.

TFS,
Cheers

Hi Douglas,

This is a fabulous shot, with great front to back sharpness and detail. It's a difficult exposure to get right, and I think you've got it spot on, from the cloud covered edge on the left to those brilliant highlighted greens on the right.

Well done and TFS,

Cheers
Simon

Hi Mariusz,

This is a nice capture, well exposed and nice and sharp. I especially love the clouds and the use of the rock pool for some great foreground interest.

Hi Ilker,

This is a nice shot that really captures the movement in the scene and makes you want to go out and fly a kite! I like how you've processed it too, unusual, but it works for me.

Cheers

Hi Dariusz,

What a fanstastic pool! You've captured this really nicely with the sun behind the mill, and the shimmer on the pool really adds to the reflection.

Hi Thomas,

This is a nice shot, really showing the autumn colours at their best when there's still leaves on the trees and plenty on the ground. I really like the shadows playing across the shot too.

Cheers

Hi Mirari,

Nice shot, the white cliffs are great and I like the flat, ripply water and the sense of depth you've acheived as it hazes out into the distance. I find the tree on the left of the frame a bit distracting, but if you cropped it then the rock would be touching the frame - always a compromise!

Cheers

Hi Chandhima,

I like this shot, what makes it for me is the guy paddling in the middle which really adds some interest. I like the hazy sky too. I'd suggest cloning out the solar flare on thr bottom right as I think this detracts from the reflection.

Hi Andre,

I really like this shot, and unlike Clodo I actually think the low profile of the shot works well as it hints at the fabulous view you'd get when you move up to where the chap in the frame is stood. You've managed the exposure excellently, that sun star is really good and I definitely approve of your choice of black and white here too.

TFS,
Cheers

Hi Danilo,

This is a great shot, framed perfectly and with beautiful sharpness from front to back. I like the warmth of the colours on the underside of the bridge from the sun as I think it really emphasises the arches.

My one slight negative would be that it looks slightly overexposed in the sky under the first arch, but I'm being really picky!

Cheers
Simon
