Congrats on the amazing restart after 15 years - first ribbon and a PB! I am sure many more will follow :)

Thank you! I'm so happy :.) So this isn't actually Lake Como, I've added details to the description above but it's a smaller lake a short drive from its more famous relative. Once upon a time the two lakes along with Lake Ceresio of Lugano formed one huge body of water before the last ice age.

I find a lot of inspiration at Lago di Piano as it's quite wild and has a lot of animals around. However I'm looking to do some shots of Lake Como in these days perhaps for the harbour challenge as there are a fair few to choose from!

Lake Garda is supposed to be quite similar and very nice, I'll have to make the trip over there some day!

I love how the hill and its reflection look like giant jaws about to swallow up the oblivious fisherman.

This is just me, but I think this is a little too dark, and I love dark and moody. A very dull, grey looking Christmas, a bit more lighting and brightness and contrast will make these feel a bit more cheerful and festive and set off your product. Adore the card sets though! So welcome back and here is your 1st critique! ((ekkk))
