Marie LC from Voiron, France
Un superbe cadrage donnant beaucoup de profondeur à l'image et, bien sûr, des couleurs magnifiques qui en font une très belle réalisation

@Marie LC: Thanks Marie....jetties on lakes make great subjects for photography - I'm sure you're right that part of it is the depth that they give to the photo.
@oncho: Thanks Oncho!
Mike from Lichfield, United Kingdom
An excellent composition. The height your camera was placed at is perfect as it neither shows the top side or the underneath of the jetty. Also the posts on the left of the jetty are balanced very nicely in-between the posts on the right. The setting sun creates a lovely warmness and the mirror-like water creates some beautiful reflections.

@Mike: Thanks Mike....it was a little before sunset but I pushed the colour temperature in post processing to give the warmth you see here (I could have done it in-camera but I prefer to shoot in RAW and adjust colour later on a bigger screen.

Jeff from Honolulu, United States
This is excellent. My line of sight runs right along the posts, all the way to the hillside and reflections in the background. Wonderful work.

IanSmith from London, United Kingdom
Very nicely done Ian.
Have you got your hands on your new toy yet?

@IanSmith: Hi Ian!....re the new toy question, I've decided to stick with my D40 for now although I bought a flash recently (SB900) which feels like a much bigger learning curve than a new camera body would have been. I do miss the fact that my D40 isn't weather sealed and won't autofocus with non-afs lenses. 12mp instead of 6mp would be nice too so eventually I'm sure I'll update it - maybe if I get offered more pro work where a back-up camera body is essential rather than something which is just nice to have.
MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany
Great work again. The soft light and colours make it look very delicate.

I like the perspective - going to the vanishing point, and the nice reflection.

Absolutely beatiful - jeff says it well - you lead me right through the frame and the detail of stones in the water and the reflection make it one I can look at for hours and still find new and different details - thanks for sharing!

Looks like a very pleasant part of the world. Warming the color temperature was a good way to go. I like the subtle modeling of the clouds and the early pink light.
