Posted by P J W Miller (Chase Terrace, United Kingdom) on 21 May 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is 2 miles from my home, a mere stones throw and a great place to relax and contemplate, yep, I count myself lucky
Me and my camera(s) will travel both locally and as far as is physically allowable within the constraints of this our local celestial body and provide images from a purely subjective point of view for your evaluation and commentation .

Good for you PJ. Couldn't agree more. It's a wonderful world out there and we have great privilege in our interaction with it. Lovely shot.

We are indeed blessed in this small country that there are so many beautiful places. This is a wonderful shot; the reflections are great..you can't beat a bit of good old British Cumulus Nimbus!

Another great HDR ! You use Eos 40D (me, too !), and what lens did you use for this picture?

Bogdan from Brasov, Romania
Nice processing! the only think i dislike is that you can see how you used the brush in lightroom (i guess you pp it there)! Try to make the processing less noticeable!
Though, it is a great picture and a nice scene
21 May 2009 1:29pm
@Bogdan: oH! get your facts right, no lightroom, i do what I want for me. if you don't like it fair enough, you have made your point, I dont mind criticism but i wont be told what to do, as in the Apprentice "You Are Fired"

Your little piece of heaven. Looks like a great place. The drama in the sky and the nice reflections really grab my attention. That curving wall of grasses/reeds is so nice too.

Where I used to live I had a nature reserve just minutes away, and I'd go there and sit listening to the moorhens and coots, very peaceful. This is also a lovely stretch of water Pete, and a nice curve with the reeds, the sky is very defined too.
