[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Escaped to the New Forest last night just in time for sunset. As the evening went on the slight breeze that rippled the water gradually died away leaving the pond like a mirror reflecting the land and sky.

Taken with a 0.9 (3 stop) Lee ND Grad to even up the exposure values. Camera on a tripod and remote release used to keep everything sharp.

Hi Miles

I like the colour tones in this shot. What a lovely calm day. The reflections are fantastic. You could have posted this upside down and we would almost never know. :-)

Hi Miles,

This isextraordinary. Never seen reflections like this. You made a super composition. My compliments.

regards,
Zeno.

Beautiful "mirror".

A classic image captured with the wide angle lens and raised to the level of great work of art with the judicious use of filter.
Is it right to assume that you have "cleaned the slate" and begun afresh?
If I remember correctly, you had quite a few pictures in your portfolio which I do not see any more.

Wow what a wonderful sunset you caught. I saw the sky where I was, but there was nothign there to photo....

Beautiful. Great break from the 1/3rds rule and stunning reflection on what I think might be your favourite set of trees!

You seem to have a touch of vinegretting which surprises me, but does not detract from the wonderful sunset and picture.

Perfect reflection. This is one of those photos that pulls the viewer in...I think maybe it's the clouds that create that effect.
The colors are wonderfully golden and comforting.

Hello Miles,

This shot is just fantastic!!

Thank you,thank you

Servane

Hi Miles,

Only just found this of yours... wow, beautiful peaceful scene, great composition, detail and exposure - lovely colours. Really nicely done :-)

TFS, Doug

Very nice, powerful diagonal effect that attracts the viewer into the picture. But I should have reversed left/right in order to see small trees on the left (= past) and taller on the right (= future) -> growth vs twilight years. I never hesitate to look what could bring a reversed image.
Great anyway !
