Gotta love those kinds of reflections. Nice.

Well seen and presented Peter,
The Pano crop really emphasizes the fog nicely.

The perfection of the reflection and your 50:50 split make this a very compelling image. The near perfect symmetry top to bottom creates a neat contrast with the strongly dynamic arrows pointing across the frame. Well done!

Beautiful reflection. The cloud really makes this one sing.

Would love to see a larger version to see more of the detail in distant shore. Love the peaceful feel.

Peter: Marvelous scene that I would have suspected came from Scotland rather than Ireland. Love the symmetry and the atmospherics. Well done.>=))>

The balance to this image is beautifully played out between the reflection and the background. Then, the cloud adds an extra dimension that makes you stop and think, and I love it.

Beautiful work!!

I can see why you like the place. It is on my list as well. Lovely light and rhythm

Great vision making this 50/50 comp work so well. That low cloud really enhances the abstract quality of the image. Well done!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than this. For me, this is as close to perfect as a photo can come. I'll be seeing this one when I close my eyes at night and I'll be talking about it when I try to describe the ultimate abstract nature shot. Beautiful

When the symmetry is perfect it always looks better centered vertically (at least to my brain

) Love the light and the fog in this shot, Peter. The decision to crop was a wise one! Very nice.
