Hi Maggie Nice soggy job. Still needs some space at the botton in my humble opinion, Can you put some grass turf over the rocks so its a better blend with the background ? And then even put a rock or two onto the turf . The grass will grow around them and blend in.
This dry spell is certainly getting 'em going.
Cheers
John

Thanks John. You are right about more space at the bottom. As regards grass turf. My house is actually on the market. Don't know what prospective purchasers are going to make of the pond (which has involved removing part of a patio). If I start taking up chunks of turf out of the lawn it might not look too impressive :biggrin:

A little tight at the base but still very good, Excellent for the ISO, I dont shoot over 400 with the D300,Did you apply any noise reduction here
