    This is absolutely beautiful. I’ve seen a lot of Australia, and coming from London (which today is positively grey, filthy & stormy) I kinda envy you having such an astonishing place in your (extremely big) back yard. A beautiful picture.

    The wonderful symmetry in this is beautifully offset by the long foreground leading you into the distant landscape – the reflection of the water giving you the sense of “big sky” above. The graduating tonalities that you have captured are wonderful and create a sense of depth.
