    Hi Simon…......

    I read your bio so I don’t really care if you look at my pics…...I was looking through the Recent section on the Bubble and this was very eye catching…....enough to make me go back and have a good look! LOL!

    I love the gold and turquoise colour combination…....such beautiful balance in this shot and those clouds…......well….....those clouds are awfully dreamy….........LOVELY work!

    Cheers, Rose

  • Simon Mears replied

    hey! thanks Rose – what i said was that i promise to look at everybody’s work who is good enough to look and comment upon mine but i won’t promise to make nice comments just for the sake of it.. a few people were getting into that ‘i’ll comment on yours if you will mine’ ethos just to raise a profile.. i don’t want that. So i will look at yours and it wil be a privilege to do so!

    Ha-Ha Simon! You are so funny….......I honestly comment on shots I LOVE….....I am an amateur so no need to comment on anything Honey…..........this is such awesome work you have here, REALLY! Cheers, Rose :)))

    Good choice, Simon!! Its always so tempting to default to monochrome, but i love this. Definately the right choice!

    Really like your USA photos and looks you covered some serious miles. I’m afraid photo opportunities have been few and far between over last two weeks in Leicester although weather has been good (so no real excuses).

    you chose very well ~ w/o comparison ~ this does stop one from clicking and want to rest awhile inside the beauty of this ~ reflective & so serene ~ I can imagine your delight in seeing and capturing the moment :) I would have been giddy xx

  • Simon Mears replied

    i think giddy is spot-on.. from running up and down sand dunes in the sun.. this could have been a mirage if i was being melodramatic, which i am. It was nice to find though just before i left the park

    B&W will work definitely, but the colors are extremely complimentary and peacefully pastel here, great composition, you might even add this to the two of a kind group due to the twin cumulus risings
