Another beautifully lit image that offers the same technical merits and ethereal quality we have become used to in your work paul. I think you may as well set up a tent at this pool. :wink: :) Gorgeous colours and lovely tonal gradations and I love that cascade of water from the pools overflow. If I had any suggestions it would be to reduce slightly some of the excess foreground space and create a mini pano effect.
cheers

I love the silky smooth ocean. It resembles fog low to the ground which gives a great effect.

This is a fantastic image, i love it and at first glance this looks very much like a painting, everything is just great and well done i love it.

Lovely, tranquil mood to this shot. I agree with marcotrov on a quasi-pano crop, but even without, a beautiful image :)

Paul,
I will have to get up early and join you one day (if you don't mind...), I really like your shots and need practice (lessons) before going on holidays.
Cheers,
Gerard

great lighting.

too much water in the foreground for me though.

perhaps pano crop some off the bottom.

This is a sublime and beautiful image, but I'd have cropped a bit off the LHS and from the bottom to go tighter on the pool. Of course I wouldn't have taken a pic like this since I'd have to get out of bed way too early!

A nice image..... but to improve and give more impact the bottom needs to be cropped in half to give more of a pano look as there is a lot of lost space at the botton which takes away from the pool and sunrise........

Beautiful image, and would be even stronger with a pano crop as suggested.

Thanks guys..........I have enclosed as requested a cropped version to have more of a pano perspective, would appreciate what the thoughts are on this to. When printed on A3 they look entirely different from each other, won't influence my opinion 8)

Beautiful image and the colours are magic. Well done :D

to be honest i like the first one better as the pool seems to be more out in the middle of a sea of fog and the pastel pink in the foreground changes the whole colour perception of the pic.

This is brilliant Paul. Just what I was thinking and I like. Deserves framing :)

Superb shot. Got a unique feel about it. I went to that pool about 30yrs ago and it doesnt look like it has changed much.
