I prefer this one, the water is nowhere near as distracting as the last one, any males down that way ???

Hi Steve
Yes me too, I prefer this to the previous one.

I like the green of the water but it is a touch weak. Watching the reflections on my local canal I have noticed the greens can vary in a very short time and distance from very bland to extremely bright and saturated - getting the subject and water all to come together just so isn't easy - I rarely manage it!
