Hi Alex, this is a lovely HDR shot of the infamous boathouse. I like the reflection, comp, treatment and mood. Well done and I look forward to seeing more shots either taken now or when you return, later in the season. An instant fave. Cheers Elana.
Alex Stojan replied

Thanks Elana, glad you like it. Do you live in Melbourne? I was going to suggest we both make a day of it.
Elana Bailey

Alex, alas I live in Adelaide. My sister has a b&b in Sassafras, just down the road. So, I visit the gardens when I’m staying at her lovely b&b. (www.thesass.com.au) – you should check it out. Great for autumn and winter stays….small plug. Cheers Elana.
Alex Stojan replied

No worries Elana, if you come down to visit let me know! I’ll check out her site, might come in handy :) Cheers
Elana Bailey

Will do and thanks, Alex. Cheers Elana.

I love the green … I miss the mountains so much!
I used to live in a tiny cabin in Ferny Creek & work at Kate Kelly’s on Mt Dandenong It was the two best years of my life! I so miss it! The mountains are a completely different pace and such a relaxing and rewarding way to live!
Thank you for this image I will look at it often and remember my mountain life
Chookas! ♥
Alex Stojan replied

Thanks adgray, I’m glad it has such an effect on you! It certainly is a beautiful up there, I wish I had more time (and cash) to go and explore it, although I’m lucky I’m not too far away.

Gorgeous reflections, Alex and great composition. We often go to the Dandenongs; lovely in any season.

This is my second fave so far. I reckon the group should have a day out at the Dandenong Ranges to take some shots I think before the weather gets too grey.
Good reflection of the hut in the water.
Alex Stojan replied

Thanks Lisa, I gotta say I prefer my other Boatshed photo personally. Grey weather is the best for this sort of thing, provided there is some colour left in the leaves!
