I really like the highlights on the foreground sand around the puddle. Adds a great deal of interest to the scene. Great composition as well.

I think this is the best one yet Geoffrey. When can I move here...! You've sold it to me ... now where did I put my P65+ (kidding). The sand patterns on that front pool make it for me...simply superb!

Very nice shot Geoffrey. The sky is beautiful here, but its the reflected light in the pool that really makes this one great. I really like those little "fingers" of sand which extend into the pool.

Not that's really gorgeous. Super foreground and what a sky. The midground reflection seems a bit too bright for me - a minor nit.

That is really pretty Geoffrey. The colors are all wonderful and very complementary. I also like the sheen on the edge of the sand and how it contrasts with the shadows. Very nice.

The foreground textures really bring interest to this one. Well done!

Beautiful colours, love the sand. I think if you darken the MG pool more attention will be on the FG pool which is fantastic. :toast:

Thanks everyone :smile:
All advice has been gratefully received and as usual you're right about the furthest pool, so I've darkened it in this repost.

Geoff.
