So calming and inviting, Gary! A strong tribute to the blue hour. It doesn't get better than this.

Gary, the composition based on the counterpoints and the play with the slight asymmetry is fascinating to me. Your image has an almost abstract quality to me which I really enjoy.

What a wonderful palette of colors. This really captures the gentleness of a lakeside predawn.

The symmetry here make for a very strong comp, and the colors are gorgeous.

Love this as much as your last one Gary! The soft blue and lavender tones are wonderful, one of my favorite color combinations. Beautiful!

Loved the last one, Gary and this is stunning as well. I love how you have brought the wonderful forms of the mountains and islands up closer for greater emphasis and set these blues against the delicate pastel pinks. Really an exquisite image.

A very beautiful and serene scene, Gary. Love the colors and misty atmosphere. The symmetry of your comp also adds to the serenity.

The symmetry and balance is perfect for this shot. Two eyes looking at me. Don't know how to improveon this. Peaceful mood created with the lighting and reflection.

Gary I instantly recognized the scene, one of my old stomping grounds when I lived in Cumbria. I am new on here so not the best to critique etc. But to my eye, I love the composition, The reflection, and the soft pastel tones of a Cumbrian dawn, makes me long to be back in my favorite place on earth. Thank you for sharing it.
