It's not the sort of sky we see too often (not here anyway;D) so you were right to make the most of your opportunity. The vertical composition works very well. The long vapour trail adds a wonderfully strong diagonal that we see in reverse in the reflection. The broken logs in the water are a good extra feature. Well done

Gerald,
This is a fine shot! Your composition is great using the reflection to balance the photo and create symmetry. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF. The lines in the clouds give the shot nice direction.

Hello Gerald,

The sky is perfectly enhanced here. Its rich blue colour and white soft clouds ass a nice set of dynamics to the view. The reflections also are pleasant and excellent. They balance the view very well. Good contrast and details. This place seem beautiful. Thanks.

Hi Gerald
Another nice post from this area. It's a shame about the jet trail but all in all it's well exposed with good DOF.

Wow, what really gets me about these images of Barker Dam is the clearness of the air and water. Also the sky is such an incredibly deep blue that it is mesmerizing. Magical place is right! Well done!

Hi Gerald!
I love this one...so clear. The way the clouds are angled across the sky is wonderful. The reflection and the great clear foreground is just perfect....great work! cheers,

Use of the polarizer is perfect here. It saturates the color, improves the sharpness of the scene, and reduces the reflections from the water. You could not ask for anything more.

Bonjour Gerald,
un paysage d'un autre monde, beau et calme, si calme.
Le ciel est d'un bleu outrageant, le polarisant a joué à merveilles son rôle ainsi que ta légère poussée vers la sous exposition qui accentue couleurs et contrastes.
Un cadrage impeccable.
Regards.
Daniel.

Woooooh, this is the type of image that shines already right as a thumbnail and gets to full glory once it is open as the full post. The composition with the rocks, reflections, mud patch in the foreground and the small stick in the water is already extremely good, but with the clouds and the diagonal airplane condensation strip it turns into almost an abstract piece of art.
Wonderful presentation!

Hi Gerald,
Excellent vertical presentation with the rugged hill of rock contrasting brilliantly with the lovely vivid blue sky with its peaceful wispy clouds. The striking reflections equals beauty squared.

- Superb composition for this hard landscape, good idea for the vertical, you benefit like that from the interesting foreground and the splendid cloudy sky, the polarizer filter is a undeniable more, well done!

Hello Gerald,
I have missed a lot a great shots in your gallery !
Very nice picture! The first one in the serie is also nice but I think the vertical framing is better.
I like the cloudy sky inthis one and of course the reflexion.
