Photographer's Note
The River Stour is a river in East Anglia, England. It is 76 km (47 mi) long and forms most of the county boundary between Suffolk to the north, and Essex to the south. It rises in eastern Cambridgeshire, passes to the east of Haverhill, through Cavendish, Sudbury, Stratford St Mary, Dedham and flows through the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. it becomes tidal just after Manningtree in Essex and joins the North Sea at Harwich.
The name Stour derives from the Celtic sturr meaning "strong".
The eastern part of the River Stour is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty known as Dedham Vale, named after the village of Dedham in Essex. It is an area of rural beauty on both sides of the River Stour. The Dedham Vale AONB is approximately 18km (11.5 ml) east-west and 4km up to 8km (2.4 to 4.8 ml) north-south. We view it here at Flatford mill over the bridge with the sun setting.

Eye-catching and very beautiful landscape and very interesting and a sunset reflected in water. Combined attractive colors and brightness of colors in the sky. Clearly good.

Good Morning Iain,
This is the sort of shot that you exhale when you see; it is so relaxing. There is enough light in the f/g to give an impression of the fence and the bridge but the attention is quickly drawn to that warm setting sun and its exquisite reflections on the water. A fine composition.
Have a lovely Easter Sunday,
Bev :-)

Hello Iain,
This is a fine sunset shot, perfectly composed and with lovely colours. The railings of the bridge make an excellent "lead in" line to the photograph and I really love the way the low sun is catching the railings at far left. Wonderful detail and sharpness too.
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.
