Loved the light streaking through here...pity the wind was too high for a good reflection!

very nice, parkland shot. yes, the streaks of sunlight do add and the reflection of the top of the peak is really all you need. the stick in the FG is a little distracting. there's also (on my screen) an odd purple cast in the sky/foliage of the FG tree :confused:

The leading line of the water is very nice and the distant perspective gives a nice feel for the granduer of the place, the greens and blues work very nicely together.

I like the composition a lot. Very pretty. I can't comment on the colors as I am on an uncalibrated monitor. This is an eye catcher :wink:

Very nicely framed, well controlled colors and exposure it must have been a really difficult shot. I like it!

Man I gotta get there someday. Really shows the scale nicely. I agree the stick is a bit in the way but a minor nit. Colors seem good on my monitor.

Wow, I love the composition on this one. The light and shadows work nicely as well which is a pleasant surprise.

The foreground really makes this special, wind or not. Wonderful sense of depth and framing and good light.

I like the way the water leads you into the scene, and the close reflection adds despite the loss of the far reflection.

Kartik,

Kudos to you for finding and creating this wonderful and new composition from Indian Swamp. As you know, the fallen tree in the "pond" has changed the classic composition and I just find this comp to be different and wonderful. Well done.
