This is lovely, Larry!

I think it would have scored better without the fountain giving it a man-made impression when... without it, we think it's far away with only the egret in nature.

Or, maybe I'm nuts.

That must be it. I've been told... :D

After the rain

Who knows why voters vote what they do, Margaret?

I always get it wrong. They sometimes love the ones I just stick in and think will sink... then they hate the ones I love.

Anyway, to answer your question, this is a six vote in my book. I think it's a good shot, but not really spectacular. I enjoy looking at it but I don't say "wow!". (am I being too honest??) I think it would have had more "pop!" if the water had more motion blur and the rocks and trees were in sharper focus. As I follow the water from the top... it's flowing... flowing... and then BAM! It stops into nothing. It kinda makes me uncomfortable... a bit. I want to see what it's flowing into.

I also hiked a bit to get my shot... and couldn't get what I wanted out of it. Darnsies.

Let's both try again. :D

The sky is gorgeous... (but maybe too blue??) Well seen scene. I love the perfect reflection.
