In PS changed the colour balance to more natural look, cloned out a protruding grassblade in right.

This is really good, Veljo. Reminds me somewhat of a similar image posted in the not too distant past by Mark Hobson. Good work.

This is very entertaining to look at. It's late and I'm kind of tired so when it first came up on the screen I wasn't sure what I was looking at. The more I looked at it the more I enjoyed it. Good work.

A very nice image. If the reeds wouldn't have been there, it would really have looked like some strange kind of ladder into the skies! The reeds add something very unrealistic on one hand, but on the other do help to show what the viewer is really looking at. Very cleverly done.

I think that personally I would clone out the small objects lying in the water just to the right of the bridge to make the 'sky' really perfect.. It's just a very small nit though.

Wonderfully seen! I love the surreal feeling of having those reeds there. It really plays with my sense of up and down.

This is just excellent Veljo. I agree with all that has been said already about the way that this shot makes me feel. Nice job seeing and also composing to eliminate any distractions. I also agree that cloning out the small inperfections in the water would be good.

After looking again, I must comment...PRINT THIS ONE BIG. I love it more now than when I first looked.

Hi Veljo,
very intersting subject, the composition with alternate horizontal and diagonal elements work well.

Hi folks,

thanks for the comments!

I did clone out the imperfections just right of the bridge. I also set slightly better quality compression for jpg.

A simple "WOW!" just isn't enough, but I just can't help myself. Wow!
