I really liked how peaceful and magical this looked. The bridge and the lily pads really held my attention. Congrats on a 6+ in the "Best of"!

Ohhhh I remember that scene! Were you able to get something this stunning that day we were there? Man, if it was from that day, you are the MASTER at using your photography skills to compensate for less-than-perfect conditions. All my photos from that day were all blown out and looked like. . .like Texas in the summer. This is BEAUTIFUL!

What a sweet place Judy. I am happy that you live nearby, so that you can go here when you like.
I think that maybe the softness in the treetops hurt this one in voting.

Very picturesque, a lovely tranquil shot. Not a lot to complain about here, you have all the technicals right, and while it's not a shot that appeals to me particularly, I do think you've done a very good job capturing it!

Lovely serene spot, nicely composed and captured.

I am not sure , there seems to me signs of over burning during post processing.
The other thing is that the overall shot does not excite into giving a higher score , not that this is a bad shot at all. 6

I think a steeper angle showing more of the stream in the foreground and moving the bridge (the focal point of the picture) into the top third of the frame would lead the eye more into the picture.

another wonderful image

beautiful spot...editing in the top left wasn't done well...has better potential if edited better, so a 7 from me

The processing feels a tad muddy -- especially in the upper left.
01/23/2010 02:26:31 PM
enchanted indeed. i'm a sucker for small, overgrown spaces like this. beautiful capture of serenity.

A gorgeous scene, so peaceful and serene looking.

This tells a nice story. I like the composition. There's something up with the foliage above the bridge and my eye gets drawn there. Otherwise good photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 06:54:44 PM
My eye needs a bit more detail in that bridge.

Are you sure Monet didn't base himself on your photograph when he painted his water lily pond series?

Such a serene look. Nicely composed.
