John Pitman
This is stunning. Love the way you have composed this with the pontoon in the middle of the mountain reflections.
aroha replied
Thanks John :) the pontoon is actually only a few feet off shore, it looks like it’s right in the middle of the lake here! but if i didn’t put it in the middle it disappeared in the reflections, so a bit of artistic licence needed!
Craig Hender
Beautifully composed, and excellent depth.

Thank you Ellaine, and for favouriting it too :) the thing in the middle is a diving platform, it’s only a few feet off the shore yet the water is 8m deep there, I dread to think how cold it is even in summer!

Robin Smith
Wow Aroha, like the wee tremor in the reflections, conveys the time of year. How you got the cluster of misty clouds to turnup beats me! Stirrings in the Angelus Basin? On New Years day, 2008, I arrived to vision of 100’s of people here!!!!! ...Robin..
aroha replied
Thanks Robin, it’s a nifty trick to control the clouds! ;)

Ranald
This convinces me that I must visit my relatives! I can smell the place already.
aroha replied
Oh you should, there’s nowhere like nz! Although you prob don’t want to come right now, we’re taking a battering from the weather..
Ranald
As are we! Although it looks like it is threatening sunshine.
aroha replied
well I don’t want to play ‘my dad’s bigger than your dad’ but.. I’m going to anyway!! We’ve had hurricane force winds, floods, no power, and worse still – hardly any water, I can’t even take a shower! booo
Ranald
not booo, surely it’s pooo? Good luck with it all.
Ciaran O'Hagan
amazing picture…with gorgeous colours!!! nice shot..works really well x
aroha replied
Thank you Ciaran, I appreciate that :)
baddoggy
Lovely.
You couldn’t have composed that any better. It’s almost symmetrical, and you know what symmetry does to human brains. They say people with vertically symmetrical faces are the most attractive. It’s to do with a chemical reaction in the brain or something. Science ‘n all that.
Anyways, it makes perfect sense that the same chemical reaction can be induced by a picture with symmetrical attributes. Well, it makes sense to me at least. And that’s all that matters. To me.
Nice.
Alf Caruana
