71 Nov 23 Comment This wouldn't have been the same with any movement on the water so worth the wait. Great colours as well. Nov 25th
71 Nov 23 Reply Thank you for your comments Mike. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Reply I can't unsee the white blob now Theresa so it'll have to go! Thanks for your comments. Nov 7th
71 Nov 23 Comment We seem to be blessed with a set of great images this month Mike - this one's no exception. Very simple in theory these kind of shots but more difficult to PP and present, well done. Looking forward to your May shot with interest! Nov 5th
71 Nov 23 Comment Can't really add anything to what the other folks have said Ted - very pleasant landscape. The only comment I'd make doesn't actually apply to this image. Sometimes when we see landscapes, there's always a temptation to think "let's add a vignette to hold it together". This hasn't got one and the expanse of the scape would be lost if there were.
Well taken.

71 Nov 23 Comment I think the lighting coming through the canopy onto the rocks and foliage help to make this a delightful image and the flow of the water in the top half is just right. I'm not a great fan of really milky water but the important thing is that you like it. I would have preferred to have seen a little more detail in there and if you have a number of exposure variations to play with I wonder whether it would look much different or you would lose the effect you were looking for.

71 Nov 23 Comment I like the way you've made the reflection more of the subject than the tree, but balanced that by accentuating the tree colours - very nice. Maybe just add a touch more vibrance to the tree in the reflection, it is just a bit pale compared to the main tree. Well composed too. Nov 5th
71 Nov 23 Comment Looks like a great place for a day out Tom. I also think it's a little on the dark side but not in an underexposed way, just perhaps selectively lift the midtones to darks with a curves layer. I personally would lose the bottom inch of the image up to the rock - it's not really adding anything and would perhaps give a better balance. I also like the detail in the water - I think too many images nowadays are cursed with milky water disease. Nov 5th
71 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Michele, I agree "documentary" rather than "record" is a better word. The point of focus is neither the sky nor the landscape for me. It is a documented image of St Johns, the city, the harbour, the waterway leading to the harbour and the vantage point from the top of Signal Hill. So, in a sense, some of the sky could go, but, like you - I like the sky as well. Thanks for your comments. Nov 5th
71 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Tom, I liked it when I saw it and still do. I appreciate your comments. Nov 5th
