A painterly image of infinity.

I like the post processing efforts, not over the top but enough to give this piece an Edwardian flavor.

A very dramatic perspective with the diminishing lines. The inclusion of the people allows the viewer to assess the size and scope of this water feature - well done.

The background colors are bright and attention getting. The treatment of the sky is a little more than necessary, its texture competes with the central feature.

Overall this is a very eye catching piece and I like it ... Bob

Great photograph of the perfectly maintained grounds of the prominent house and flowing fountains water.
Great composition with the hills in the background and colors in the sky. Thank you for sharing.

Great DOF as my eye travels down the waterway. The overall scene looks like a delightful watercolor work of art. The lighting is soft and gives the feeling of warmth and charm. My guess is that you used a slightly slower lens speed and the sense of movement of the water is what gives this a delightful watercolor feel. Pretty location.

This did not end up looking like a photo to me; whatever you did with your levels and curves worked well! I especially like the colour tones. Nice work, with an almost intro-dimensional feel to it. Thanks for sharing!

Did your adjustment make the sky look like someone applied it with a sponge? Part of this photo looks like it was painted -- except for the water.

Wow I love this! But it doesn't look like a photo at all, it looks more like a painting! I'm amazed how you've achieved this result with just levels and curves! I take my hat off to you! :-)

a beautiful capture of this long flowing fountain in this beautiful garden and the Chatsworth Castle on the right; however, I don't understand what you did with the sky......

This is skilled photography of a stunning scene, in several areas, the work looking like a lovely painting, others almost fantasy like. The flowing fountains and colorful sky are especially beautiful.
