Another excellent image That little spot of light on the grass at foreground-left is the essential ingredient, without it the scene would be just too dark. It's such a small thing but it just makes the image for me.

Interestingly, you are usually right with the 'best viewed on black' thingy but for this one I prefer the off-white of the PT forum

Hi Paul; Yeh agree with the others nother brilliant shot ; Ilike the way you've framed the horizon in the middle of the frame to give equal weight to both sky and reflection.

It would be nice to see a tutorial form you as how to set about achieving an image like this; Please Please grovel grovel
