Beautiful morning. Just gotta love that time of the day. Gorgeous looking tree and magnificent surroundings

One of your best I’d say Mel, I like how you included that little bit of cloud to balance the outward lean of the tree. 1st class image, no doubt about it :))

This is a picture.

Jeeze Mel, I only wrote you about inspiration a minute ago, and here you go again! You are an angel, passing from paradise to paradise, with a good camera and an amazing eye for composition. You can take me to heaven when my time comes. How do I book?

Beautiful photo, I love those bright yellow leaves, nice reflections too..

Another beautiful shot of (the same?) tree. The colour on the mountains in the background is simply superb.

Mel this is fantastic. what an awesome find. Well done. Love that tree.

AMAZING!

Amazing find and shot

Thanks so much for your lovely comments everyone. This is the same tree, in Lake Wanaka. I moved around and took different views as the sun rose. This one shows off the light on the leaves to best advantage, I think. Bill, if you want a slice of heaven, then New Zealand is definitely the place to find it, it’s scenic heaven, that’s for sure!

Gorgeous, Mel. Beautiful colours and a wonderful reflection. What a serene place.

Awesome shot Mel ~ you were in the right place at the right time again aye haha ~ real magic friend:)

Beautiful composition, lovely soft morning light illuminating the entire scene; the clouds help balance out the sky….this is heavenly!

Lovely Mel!

BABE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>too bloody good with my love of trees ,i just melted

great shot. i like it.

A perfect capture!! Such an unusual shape in the tree.

Love what you have done to the tree this time round Mel!

Love the reminder of orange on the mountain and in the water,well balanced and filled with lighting ,gorgeous.

it’s really quite a delightful image. You’ve caught this at exactly the right time – any other time and it’d be great but you’ve made it fantastic.

the time of day really adds to the impact of the colour of the leaves and casts great shadows on the mountains behind, great picture at the perfect time well done.

What a stunner Mel…pure magic!

amazing location and very well captured.

brilliant study – the way the tree is isolated is special!

The sun going down reflects the light perfectly. My best time of the day. The colour tones are brilliant, and I think that there is just a perfect amount of reflection with the tree the most central point. Thumbs up Mel.

Absolutely stunning in its simplicity …

Beaitiful Mel – and glory just about sums it up – perfect.
