[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I recently went away for a relaxing weekend with friends, to a resort on the Vaal River, one of the country's most important river systems.

At the last moment, I decided to take my Nikon D80 along, and when this shot presented itself, I was glad I did!

I often do "arty" nature shots, and I particularly liked this one, as the water was very smooth and the jetty presented a nice change from the usual trees and buildings that are mostly used for reflection shots.

Let me know if you also like it!

Great capture of reflections here Niel, well seen and well delivered! You could possibly have risked a faster shutter speed, and possibly reduced the reds a little here in favour of more green-blue tones? But I'm just being picky, this is a great looking shot.

Good morning Neil

What a good job you took your camera! Absolutely superb shot here, crystal clear, lovely glassy water and excellent reflections. POV is really good too.

Nice work

TFS regards Helen

Woow.. that's an excellent reflection you got there, wonderful to see, so sharp and clear, great captured, nice pov, well done Niel,

Bonne photo Niel

Hi Neil.
Great idea. Really good strong reflections. They create great shapes. Just would have improved the impact if you had been straight on to it. But well seen and well done.
Regards, Steve.

Hi Niel,
Indeed a great study in reflection, very sharp and neat. I think it would be great for a postcard or something, it's a beautiful sight.
Still something in the picture was bothering me (picky me.. ;) still don't know what it is exactly) so I did you a workshop.
Hope you like it,
TFS Darlene

Many thanks for your comments on my picture: Morning fog

Great reflection pic, well seen, so calm mirror like. Perfect exposure and sharp.
Only one thing, Whats that object in the water at the front? Could it be cloned out?
Best wishes
Rob :)

A good capture Neil, great exposure and the water is really like a mirror!

Hello Niel,

Great image, i like the stillness of the water, the reflection and the symmetry are excellent.

Well seen and taken, tfs Tracey

Hi Neil

Super reflections! I love the light and color qualities, and that little "thing" in the water almost appears to be looking at the reflections with interest (or confusion?!). Great composition and crisp focus. Can't think of much to add but two more points:)
