This shot was taken from another side of the lake than the last with a lot more sun. I kind of liked this view looking over the azaleas.

Thank you to all of you've who've helped me get to the 300 mark here. With your critiques, suggestions for improvements, workshops, even telling me what I'm doing right. :)) I hope when any of you look at this shot you won't consider your time to have been wasted. LOL Thanks so much!

Hello Shelly,

Congratulations for your first three hundred post of photos on TrekEarth. Your photo is well selection for celebrating this milestone. I like pink flower as part of frame and huge part of frame full in green and its tones thats creates a unique view with reflections on lake. Very good clarity and sharpness in natural colors. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Shelly,
Congratulations on your 300th post!
This is a nice shot of this cypress swamp, the azaleas add a nice splash of color to the shot. You have captured a nice reflection which add nice depth and balance to the photo. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,

Hello Shelly,
my sincere congratulations for your 300th post on TE! This image is worth the celebration, wonderful colors and clarity. I guess the special angle of sunlight and the resulting marvelous light is very good treat in this one. A beautiful scene, expertly handled.
Kind Regards and congratulations again.

Hi, Shelly -

Congratulations on #300!

Unfortunately (for me) pink and green is one of my least favorite color combinations, so I have to get past that first in order to appreciate this one. And it is nicely arranged, with diagonals directing the eye to the trees on the right, while the azaleas define the foreground.

Best,
Dan

Really beautiful Shelly. I love the flowers in the foreground! Superb scene. Can you believe we are buried in snow again here?? TFS and congrats on your 300th!!!

Congratulations, Shelly!
A pleasant picture, this, but not half as compelling IMHO as the view from the other side.
I like it better if a lot of the sky is cropped off, giving the sharp detail of the azalea flowers more importance.
Best wishes, Winifred

Hello Shelly and congratulations on reaching this milestone. Your pictures have definitely improved over time and this 300th is very pretty. The Spring colours and light are well perceived here. I do notice some oversharpening but aside from that minor thing the image is excellent. I like the way you used the flowers to enhance the foreground and frame the view. Thanks Shelly and have a great Sunday :-)
