Beautifully sharp and colourful. I wonder if the pond would look even more spectacular at night?   Posted: 11/05/2024 01:45:21

Janie, thank you for your comments. Don't know if the park and bridge were lit at night but I agree with you it might be spectacular.   Posted: 11/20/2024 01:30:36

Love this image. The reflections of the pathway appear to be more in the water than the glass railings. The imbalance between the smooth water on the left and the rippled water on the right really adds a nice dynamic to the image.
For me, I would bring up the brightness and contrast a bit to emphasise the colors a bit more.   Posted: 11/05/2024 21:26:23

Stewart, thank you for your comments. I did try after you mentioned brightness and contrast and it did bring out the colors more. I also put it into a HDR program and that did all kinds of things to the colors. Thanks again.   Posted: 11/20/2024 01:34:32

You are so consistently creative both in choosing your images and bringing them to life that you intimidate me sometimes. Well done.   Posted: 11/11/2024 18:52:50

Tom, outstanding! I wished I was there. The lines take my eye up into the frame nicely. Very pleasing image!   Posted: 11/15/2024 18:13:42

Donald, thank you for your comments. It was a bright day and using photoshop to dehaze and tone down somewhat helped to make this image. Still trying different things to improve it.   Posted: 11/20/2024 01:39:29
