[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We were looking around the backroads of Pukekawa today, and ended up by the Nikau caves.
They are situated 17k from Highway 22, on a loop road through to Port Waikato.
Just before sunset I spotted this scene, the water is a waterlogged paddock after heavy rain last night.
There is no PP other than the frame, this is the colour as I saw it.

Hello Peter,

The beauty of Nature never ceases to amaze!
This is utterly beautiful!
It seems crass to critique this by disecting its parts just say, 'It is beautiful!' and enjoy looking at it!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Very nice; a spectacular sunset lighting the trees, and a perfect mirror reflection in the water. Your composition works very well with the division of the shot into thirds. Good work with the cinematic frame too.

Hi Peter,

I think that this is a very beautiful shot the colour that the sky/sun has endowed these trees with is brilliant imho. The reflections are so clear they are amazing well done.

Jon

Hello Peter, the colours in this shot are amazing!
The flooded paddock has enabled you to record a wonderful reflection too,what a bonus.
I like the crop with more of the sky at the top giving a well balanced shot.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Peter,
A very warm atmosphere indicating the nearing of sunset!
Beautiful gold cast on these trees with a nice soft grey sky and a superb reflection!
Great lighting and sharpness.
Good presentation.

Hi Pete,
Nice time of the day to be shooting, the tones look so good - not to mention the reflections. Can see the orange tinge to the clouds as the sun sets, one of my fav parts of the day. Great DOF from f/8, the whole image seems nice and sharp.

TFS,
Scott.
