Hello all, I hope you have all had Happy Holidays.

This is a picture that I took this afternoon. I had been waiting all day for sun to appear and when it did I jumped in the car and went to Black Park in Buckinghamshire. I wanted to get some nice photos of gulls and maybe a cormorant but just as I arrive the sun was swallowed by the clouds. I hunted around for a nice view and this was my favourite shot of around 15. I used a polarisation filter for this one.

I hope you like it.

Wow, these are marvelous colours, Paul,
I love the darkness with the brilliant bright light and this wonderful reflection.
I've seen so many sundowns here, but this is very special with the trees, I love it, thanks

Paul, it's very beautiful indeed.

Excellent contrast and mixture between light and dark shades.

Great mood, dof and composition.

Congratulations.

Hi Paul,
An excellent sunset/landscape shot. The composition and framing look great. A nice gradient of colors across the sky from blue to gold tones. This is picked up well in the reflection on the water. Beautiful scene.
Happy Holidays
Scott

Bonjour Paul!

Un magnifique couché de soleil,les couleurs sont éblouissante et magique.Félicitations pour cette belle présentation. Seul remarque,j'aurai enlevé l'arbre en haut à droite il distrait un peu.

Merci et bonne fin de journée.

I love the mood of this picture.
The sky looks amazing and the reflection makes the picture even more exceptional.
