Rydal Reflections

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted October 22, 2012910 views16 comments

I know I said in my last upload I have only been out with my camera three times since february, well this was one of them.

I took this up at Rydal Water in the English Lake District NP a couple of weeks ago. The autumn colours in the bracken and grasses on the hills lit up beautifully under the afternoon sun.

All feedback is welcome, good or bad and thanks for looking.

Gary.

absolutely GORGEOUS colours and reflection, Gary... only thing I am not entirely sure about is the placement of the 2 prominent fg trees which line the image on either side... but you may not have had a better option....

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback.

Karsten, I know what you mean about the two trees, I would have liked a bit more space either side but that wasn't possible.

Cheers, Gary.

The layering with this image is incredible. The single trees are very nice and the color contrasts spectacular. Beautiful work Gary!
