Hi Scott,
The colors and the lighting in the righthand two thirds of this image are gorgeous. The burned out parts, in my opinion, overpower that beauty. I wanted to see if there would be enough left for an interesting composition if those parts were cropped out. See Workshop.

Hi Scott.
I know this place very well.(I did a lot of tripping here when I used to live in Hamilton ;)
Some of my earlier shots were taken here.
There are some very tame Pukeko around the lake,as well as an interesting variety of exotic bird life.
Its good that you can't see the houses too much.
Thanks for posting.
Steve.
