Beautiful tones and a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. I could imagine all tension disappearing here. By the way, is that a very large bird circling on the left, over the trees? (:o)
Mary MacADNski: It is a bird over the trees. I guess he was enjoying the views too.
I know you don't do twiddles and crops and stuff, but I would crop the top off this because the sun is just too bright and detracts from that beautiful scene below.
Mary MacADNski: I do a bit of cropping and straightening horizons, Bill. I just don't enhance colours and alter how things actually looked at a moment in time. Straightening a horizon or cropping out a telephone pole doesn't change it in that way. I get you about the brightness of the sun and will give it a go.

I love the tones in this photo. Especially the gold water.
