Fantastic composition mate...and love the reflection. I reckon you could just rotate this 180 and no one would know the difference. Great work. I hope you went inside and took macros of the flowers that are growing in there!!!

Beautiful shot Stu, that water is CRYSTAL clear and so still it's a very powerful image. RYC: Post your shot! Would love to see it.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia
I'll echo many of the comments above and say that it's a brilliantly composed image; very well framed. The fact that the water was so still literally adds another dimenstion to the photo, another good black and white shot. Excellent work!!

@Chris Sullivan: Much appreciated, Chris!
@Still: Thanks, Still!

The composition is mad - just love it. What a delight to visit your blog - this is giving me the inspiration I need to "live" my blog and art again. Thank-you.
