Truly beautiful setting and you have composed and captured the image well - the reflected clouds are very nice. Love the waterlilies on the pond. Your focus and dof are all great. :)

Cool,LeeAnn!
That's a Well-Presented and pleasantly interesting picture that has the 'Delightfully Swampy' kind of tone radiating from it that I like a lot!
'Good Show',my friend!

    Many thanks; they have since piled up brush in hopes of keeping people from accessing that side of the pond, not like it works too well-lol!
Comment from Ray Gordon


Such a beautiful vista, the pond is divine and laden with lovely pink Lily flowers. A fine reflection snuck in for the money shot. LeeAnn this is magnificent. Luck in the contest. I am kind of light, but this is definitely sixy. Ray

Comment from suffolkbrian


a nice enough view with a gentle reflection but i think when you do a landscape it needs something to lift it rather than take a straight forward image i think a different viewpoint can make the difference in some cases...Brian

    Thank you, this is a side view of the pond, off the regular trail; it has since been *barricaded* with brush in hopes of deterring those of us that wander off the beaten path-lol!

    your welcome
Comment from Glena Jessee-King


The clouds are fluffy in the midst of a pretty blue sky. Its reflection in the water below on one side is nice. The continued pond and pink water lilies are lovely, but I'd like to see them even closer. Best wishes in the contest.
