This has an amazing surreal quality, I'd crop off a bit from the bottom so you go straight to the beautiful colours.
Like it lots

Very attractive image; placing the horizon a little lower giving a little less water and a little more sky might have produced an even greater impact though.

Very nice, I would agree with Phil comment above about the sky/water ratio as the near water is quite dark, but still very nice.

I think this is stunning. It reminds me of classic postcard photography and is more than beautiful enough to tempt you away from terraferma and go floating down the river! Great sky and wonderful colour. It prompts me to say that I have travelled the UK extensively over the past couple of months and this truely is a beautiful country... you just have to look for its beauty. Great shot! :toast:

If I was to be ultra fastidious, I would agree with a little trimming from the bottom so the reed line starts at the bottom of the image.

Very nice indeed, agree with losing a bit of the bottom.

Beautiful shot with a special quality about it.
If a small jpeg looks as good as this,I bet a big print looks spectacular.
