Great image

This is wonderfully exposed, composed, focused.

I love the fact that you can see the tiles so clearly in the shadow in the pool. The colors are nicely saturated.

Very nice work

The very first reaction - OOOHH!! Great impact, colors, clarity. The reflection of the scene in the pool is just perfect to finish off a lovely shot! Like it!

I've noticed on alot of your photo's that you have borders around them. That's the only thing i dont like in this photo. Everything else is good. I like how you captured the ocean in the background. Reminds me of the good times at the beach as a kid. Well done.

I personally would have like to move the frame up to removed the reflection and see the water and sky. This is just a personal preference and I still think it's a nice shot.

Thanks for sharing.

    That would have been impossible. It was a roof over this area, and you would have seen a bit more of the sea and a roof. I took this photo because of the reflections. Thank you very much for the review.

The photograph is a pleasing look to a simple scene. It is an interesting use of the rule of thirds with the lake water and the pool water as book-ends to the table and chairs. The reflection in the pool water adds an extra element of interest.
