been away for a while (travel, house move, job move, etc) and just getting round to setting up computer and going through several months of files. this was taken on a gorgeous November morning last year at the foot of Cader Idris. Unfortunately the view from the top later in the day was non existant.

Nice colours and cloud formation, very welcoming. Like to get rid of those stray top of reed/dried grasses in the forground or perhapse got a little closer to the water to both exclude them and get some more of that reflection in. But then perhapse you'd have ended up taking a plunge.

Calendar shot if ever I saw one
Very vibrant colours.
The only nit from me is the reed tips at the bottom of the frame - irritating - clone 'em out and it'll be great - and that goes for the two tree branches breaking the skyline on the right of the mountain too.

Thanks for the comments, I think I have taken them onboard, is this better?
Nice... personally I think I would have tried to take more advantage of the reflection in the still water... I have no idea if that was at all possible of course... great colours here.

Hi John,
This is a vibrant and colourful landscape with a good composition - nice one!

Amazing colours. Good vision to have framed this all without clutter. The repost is better without the stray grasses.
