This is absolutely beautiful, what a piece of art! :D

the colors in this are stunning! great composition…and that reflection!! beautifully done!

so lovely.

So scerene you are the master at landscape photography, beautiful Mel

Stunning scene – fantastic composition and DOF!

hehehe – well – I had no problem with the last version.. but this desaturated one is very nice too!! I love this shot! What a splendid composition.

absolutely lovely – for my personal taste I like this muted one more and to me it is perfection!

Lovely iphoto Mel, is this from your inland trip, prefer the de-saturated colours in this version thought the yellow and green took up too much eye-space??? in the other image
This is peaceful.. :-)

I agree Mel,The muted tones suit my taste ,to each there own.fantastic landscape

Amazing and i love the tree right of centre perfect!!!!

This image is lovely toned down. But somehow for me, the increase of green did it for me!
All the same wonderful composition!

Unbelievable work!

The colour in this is divine Mel, and I definately prefer it to the other one too. Gorgeous work.

The tone here takes this one over the top along with the comp a real master piece for sure !

Pure Heaven; this is gorgeous!

Hey Mel. For people not-in-the-know, what is OE? And, I must say I prefer this version myself, the desat look suits very well.

Magic, xxxx

this is beautifully done, great view, good reflections, well captured

Ah, I see… Thanks :)

gorgeous work…beautiful composition

Always been one of my very favourites of your work, Mel.
I can see that you have reworked it a little, and it has come up beautifully.
In a nutshell – it is inspirational.

Fabulous Mel.

Well! I for one love the tones. This is absolutely stunning.

absolutely a stunning image, well done

Just gorgeous Mel I love the subtle colours and great composition , not that I would expect any different from you .Excellent work.

Loooooooooooove it!!!

a real beauty Mel ~~ i love it :)

SO Beautiful!

Love the image, crisp and clear. The desaturated look is masterfully applied. Sometimes less is more.

beautiful

Another great piece,the clarity is great i like the colour anyway.

expert in every way!

Love both of them, awesome work !!!

Like a dream…......:)

Stunning, the rework is outstanding …

this has a surreal, silky quality to it…...I don’t understand OEs preference though, your other image has a true vibrance and light about it. (Both are wonderful in their own styles… :-))

This faded take has a very surreal feel to it. Excellent capture & beautifully worked Mel…

love that lone tree….excellent image !!

That’s a beautiful image, and I have to agree, I like the color in this one better myself.

Now this is a piece of art!!! look at the tones here….works so very well- all around great comp as always!

Very nice Mel!! I’m ready to put up a lounger and take a nap ….

wow, it’s like an art work, really lovely composition, another fab shot Mel

Very eyecatching photography, well done, this is gorgeous work.

love the serenity

gorgeous work.

Sensational work… in awe of this!

Perfect….!

beautiful

love these soft colours…

They both are really cool, just a different feel.

I have to agree with OE…this one is stunning!

Awesome image!

Wow Thats a great shot. Nice work:)

It actually looks like the solitary tree is running away from the others…awesome shot.

I like the rather bronze and silver shades. Maybe a relief from the brighter colours we associate with other images of this place.

I like the tones Mel. Glad it was accepted.

A masterpiece, Mel. Works perfectly desaturated.

oh this is just beautiful Mel !!

The slightly muted colours and tones are magnificent Mel and the reflections are just awesome from the row of trees to the lone standing magnificent tree in the middle.

The water just sits in nicely up to the shore line too, love the little pebbles

quite simply stunning. cheers

Stunning as always Mel.

superb

oh wow! This is just too beautiful to not favorite!!!

Awesome shot. Thanks also for pointing me to OE. Its outer my league but all the photos i spent an hour looking at where all fantastic.

beautiful mood, utterly beautiful

Wonderfully sureal atmosphere, the light and finish in this scene is superb!

beautiful

Mel, this is so peaceful compared to much of your turbulent land/seascape work. Subdued colors, still waters, and the lovely form of that tree. This oozes zen!

Awesome shot!

The tones + mood here are over the top. What a sweet shot. :)

brilliant, beautiful image

very surreal!! Which planet were you on?? Beautiful!

Very lovely…........Superb!!!!

Beautiful!

I definitely like this version also. Very magical. :-D

Magic!! No other words will do!

I prefer this version… the tones are lovely and bring such a mood ! beautiful composition as well

SO whenever you are ready, you can mentor me :p hehe jk

Hi Mel,
To say this is fabulous would probably be an insult to the composition and beauty in this photograph. Its beyond words.

Wonderful!
