I could kick myself into the middle of next week! I just looked to see my score and noticed I spelled "site" incorrectly. Oh well - lesson learned - it's doing better now than any other shot I've ever submitted so hopefully I won't get too many demerits for that - here's prayin'.


Thanks so much for the wonderful votes and very kind comments. I am just over the moon - never in my life expected to get a score this great!

Great image, but I deduct an automatic 5 points for poor pelling.

Kidding of course, lovely image and kudos on the placement. :O)

Like a golden Japanese screen - without the unfortunate green vegetation in the foreground. Very elegant.

Beautifully framed, love how the colours of the wood mirror the heron's plumage.

Great reflection & symmetry, took me a little time to decipher what I was actually seeing. I do get the feeling that a little more contrasts might have improved the image however.

LOVE the reflection - really interesting interpretation of the challenge. I might have boosted brightness a tad, maybe sharpened a teensy bit.

Great capture! Although the colours are wonderful, I think this would make a great b&w image too as the green in the foreground is a bit distracting.
