Nice white page, where is the photo? Pat

Very nice, I would suspect that you used a graduated filter of some type since you have more color in the reflection than is in the sky. Nicely framed with the leaves. What were you trying to acheive? Pat

No filters Pat.. the water was like a dark tea colour and seemed to reflect the sky with nice darker richer colours. If I did it again, I'd probably remove the palm leaf from the foreground and maybe crop the left hand border a bit...

The palm leaf in the lower left corner helps balance the tree framing the top of the photo. Well done.

This is a very nice shot. It gives me the quiet, calm feeling. I too find it strange that there is a lot more color in the reflection though (not that I am suggesting that the colors are added artificially).

A nice, peaceful and colorful image. The branch to the left is a little too much for my taste. Thanks for sharing

You've captured the feel of this place and time well. I find it interesting to see photos from all over the world, it seems as if not only the terrain, form, color of the natural elements vary, but the essence of the light does as well. Thanks for sharing, Donna

Great exposure, wonderful subject, truly beautiful, but I don't think the branch works well as a frame. I think it upsets the peaceful symmetry you have going in the rest of the picture. Still a great image.
