ABC Bay

Sometimes I hate adhering to the "rules" - but the rule of thirds seemed to

be the only way with this subject.

Mike,  This looks like an impressionist painting.  I think of Monet and his contemporaries as I admire the soft pastel capture you have created.  Best regards,  Larry.

Mike, this is my sort of image. It's so delicate and beautifully balanced. Where BTW is ABC bay?

Wonderful pastel colors all over and simple, but nice composition!

Best regards Mike!

thanks all and glad you like.

Jeff it's Lake Eyre North. Looking at it I think a wider view would have brought that cloud in a bit better.

Wonderful and soft colors.  I like contrasts, and that small bit of dark vegetation contrasts so nicely with the sky and its reflection, and it adds "something" to the photo.  The rules are really guidelines because much of the time they do help the aesthetics of the photo, but then the exceptions are often striking as well.  Knowing when to put the guidelines aside is key, and it's also a part of one's personal style.  IMHO, of course.

A long time...;-)) I join the rest as it is so delicate and peacefull. I think that this little small vegetation make  the difference as it is a point of ballance for the whole composition. Beautifully done.

Thanks Stephen and Pnina. Yes a long time but I still check and enjoy your work when I'm in here...
