The colours here are almost mystical and the misty effect adds to the almost fantastical fantasy feeling
Superb composition (of course)

What an awesome composition Linda. I really like how you have positioned the gatehouse and the reflection in the image. The play of sun and shade is really appealing. The reflection of the birds and the birds is a really nice bonus to the image. Well Done.
Warm Regards

Hi Linda
The tones of sky and water are beautifully bright and the colors of the roof and trees at the far end, add a lovely glint to the image.
Great pov over the gatehouse and reflection.
Wonderful capture of texture and details.

Christmas, and no snow? :(
Are you sure this isn't Thanksgiving or something more autumnal? :)))
The place looks wonderfully peaceful and quiet, though, just as Christmas should be.
Great composition and "warmth treatment", Linda!
Best regards,

Love teh boldness of the reds in this Linda. Well composed with good colour and lovely textures in the building. A wee bit of noise in the bluer water which may have been the higher ISO or possibly the PP. Well done,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Cobwebs IV’. I haven't managed to get a cobweb shot for quite some time, the light is too clear after dropping people at school/work.

Hey Linda!!
I hope people don't think I am a ghost.. :)

The clarity and reflections are so amazing in this shot. I do not mean to pick on you but I think the horizon is a bit off tilt..leaning more to the left.
I do really love the colors and mood- they are beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Linda

I hope the hurricane didn't cause too much damage in TX. I like the red & blue colour contrasts. Good sharpness & reflections. I am home again from the 3 week teacher's training course, but off again tonight, for Ulleungdo Island on vacation. The birds at left add depth. Tfs!
