I like your composition a lot, Michael, with the small reflecting pools in the foreground. I also like the contrast between the reds and blues in the image and I think the bluebird skies work well here to bring this out. For my tastes the sky does appear to be over polarized, but otherwise this is a fine image.

Nice colors and contrasts, Michael. Intense colors work OK, I think, when you have a limited palette like here.

I love the rich colors of Velvia. The reflection is nice. ULC is a bit too dark, and I assume it was caused by the polarizer.

Fantastic, Michael! Blues are great, as are the reflections. Ron

The glow and the warm against cool color contrast really make this one stunning image. Fantastic.
