Thank you very much Fred,

Comment from avmurray
This is indeed a beautiful scene Steve, and you have pictured it so well. I especially like now the colorful clouds are reflected on the shiny water, and how the bush in the foreground is working as a nice and natural framing.

Your photo is also nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in the foreground vegetation. The exposure is just perfect and the colors look so nice and natural.

The cropping works really well, and with the bush off to the right it is a fine flow and balance in the composition. This is indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

Thank you so very much. Your perceptions are so much needed Annie. You have seen what HE who has been revealed. Our purpose is to 'go with the flow' and marvel upon that which we can 'see'. Perhaps this is what is meant when we wish 'To Be Alive' / Human Beings and not merely Human Doings". Thank you again. You have no clue as to how much your words are an encouragement.

You are most welcome Steve.

This is a beautiful landscape captured perfectly with the setting sun casting a golden glow in the sky, interesting cloud formation, reflections in the clear water and the foliage in the foreground creating great contrast and adding depth to the view. Very good lighting and focus. Great composition. Suzanne

A very beautiful capture, I like your viewpoint and frame choice having a mirror effect in the lower half and the stunning sky above - one cloud looks like an angel walking on the mountain
I think it is a wonderful composition - with stunning contrast and lighting, fantastic shadow and light games and great color range
a great first impression, thanks for sharing

Comment from SLS Photography
What a beautiful sunset scene. I really love the way the ornamental grass is highlighted in the suns reflection and also on the water. There is nice color, clarity and focus. The rays coming out of the clouds is very appealing and nicely centered.

A pretty good sunset landscape presented here. Your 50/50 composition gives us lots to look at and admire. Exposure and sharpness are also fine. Nice work!

Comment from Life is but a dream.
I think Samsung (or whoever it is that makes iPhone) ought to give you a few bucks for promoting their product.

It's photos like yours that make me want to throw out my camera, but we all know the adage "its the photographer, not the camera"...sigh.

Sharp indeed through all the planes of the image Steve. Beautiful saturation, and realistic saturation of sky. Savvy compositional style with inclusiong of reeds that grab us on our visual journey.

I have no comments to give you on how to improve....just a beautiful post.
