I had a look at the gallery and agree this is the best of the group. The sticks in the water just add that little extra interest. Some of the others have such perfect reflections that they look fake whereas the sticks dispel this illusion.

Thanks Peter.
I got a nice sunrise at the same spot on the way to work this morning.
I'll post it once I get home and convert it to jpeg.
Cheers
John

Great conditions for reflections there mustn't have been a breath of air to get them that perfect, I agree with Peter the sticks add some interest and credibility to the reflection, a sunrise spot should be lovely.

Woah, this immediately grabbed my attention, the reflection is stunning!

Definately the posts (remnants from an old pier?) add a point of interest which reflection shots sometimes need...

If this is a local/convenient spot, I'd love to see some sunrise/sunset shots from there, maybe with the old posts more into the frame rather than on the edge?

Lovely image... Wow, that reflection...

I like the balance of this image. The clouds make the image heavy on the right, but the sticks bring the balance back by providing interest on the left. Great reflection and colours.

This is an eye popping image John.Terrific!! I love the symmetry and the way the balance between the posts on the left and gorgeous golden reeds on the right. Superb :) Looks like you having a real tough time coping with the D200 :lol:

Thanks Craig, Andrew, Owen and Marco.
Of the shots I got there, the ones with the sticks were certainly the most interesting in my opinion.
I just posted a sunrise shot from this morning, not quite at the same spot.
I'll go back and try again with a sunrise and sticks next still morning.
Cheers

This is great. Sharp as a tack, clear and the light is great.

Thanks Steve and Jonas. Still waiting for the right conditions to shoot it again at sunrise.
