Nice idea and if the old guy had been pin sharp, it might have worked.

Hi kriiskiwi. You are absolutely right. I realised that too when I downloaded it and saw the enlarged version.

Truly beautiful capture. Great colors and lighting! Well done.

Great shot

interesting shot here. he does look a lil suspicous of you. the metering looks like it took the reflection off the water (which is common) and it takes away from the detail of the bird in the mid section and is distracting from the photo... remember the eye is drawn to the sharpest and brightest. nice pic, thanks for sharing

That's ok... I love the lighting on this shot. This is SO picturesque! What a lovely place to spend the afternoon.

very striking and beautiful light

The lighting is a bit too harsh, the lips almost disappear on the right side from the blown out highlight - the contrast is so high they lose their depth and shape. Nice image, just a bit overexposed.

This is beautiful!

Please tick High res so we can really see it.

very nice colors

What a nice postcard, I would love to see it in hi-res. Good luck!
