Thanks.

nice. subtle. really serene. lovely

Thanks Linda. I think you hit the nail on the head when you describe this as 'subtle'. Subtlety is indeed what I was trying to achieve.

How you get so much impact from the simplest of shots has always impressed me. The tension of the light airy clouds against the heaviness of the dark waters produces a nice tension. The reflection is just one more sophisticated layer to be explored further. Beautiful work Brett.

 

The only nit-pick for me would be the small bits of sky barely peeking through, creating a weird line/tangent on the top left cloud/sky area. It needs more or less but either way a shot I would gladly hang in my home.

The Kentster about said it all. The one word that comes to my mind is, "timeless." Then, "sublime." Let's just go with excellent.

Hi Kent,

Thanks for the - as usual - excellent critique. I did spend some time playing with slight crops to remove the small patches of sky in the top left corner. I agree that they are distracting. However, the cropping seemed to throw the balance of the image out, so I left them in. Unfortunately, there is no more film past that edge so I couldn't include just a little bit more of them either.
