    Thank you so much. I love the reflection as well. It was a great morning. For me the colour is what makes this shot. Cheers for the encouragement.

    You are welcome.. I commented on so many cause they are all good… GREAT WORK :))

  • Bradley Shawn ... replied

    You’re making me blush now. I just take what I love about nature and the beauty around us. I recently saw a video posted on a website that was made by a National Geographic photographer who was speaking about photographing what is right with the world – instead of focusing on the wrong or bad. I have long held that view point.

    Hey Bradley! I love this image, its gorgeous. Your description is good for our natural light comp. Normally I would reject this image telling you that you have to add more technical stuff to the description (like at least he camera used and lens if applicable, iso, aperture, shutter speed if you have that stuff). But I liek the image too much to risk you not resubmitting it. So I’m going to accept it and trust you will at the technical stuff. ;-) So get it done or I might remove one of your legs! :-P

  • Bradley Shawn ... replied

    Thank you so much! That is a lovely compliment. This is one of the first pictures I uploaded so I was still trying to sort out what to put in the description. I have now updated the info. I hope it is enough. If you want more, then please get in touch.

    Bradley,
    I think this is a good example landscape photography and rule of the thirds. Can you please, tag it p101thirds and p101scape so it will show as an example in the Photography 101 group?

    PS: there is no need to submit it to the group.
