Magnificent shot, Alun. This is one of the lakes I visited last time - had to get here - when I was in high school I lived in a street named Derwent Way. Brings back great memories - thanks.

I like the silvery light...as Death (?!!) noted, it would be fun to play with in B&W, but I suspect it might flatten out too much.

Very solitary feel to this image, very quiet I think. Good framing of this shot.

Many comments here reflect on the reflections - and that is what anchors interest here. Nice.

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
I think he is just waiting for his friends. They slide down the board and splash into the water then fly back up to wait for their next turn.
8 Jun 2008 4:16pm
@Michael Rawluk: I took about 5 different fences and there was a bird on every one, I started to think it was the same one all the time following me ha ha :)

Anthony Lambert from Germany
Great shot this,cracking scene.But how did you get out to the end of the fence to place your plastic seagull on the last post and it´s a great idea hiding the large rock under water this time.
9 Jun 2008 12:07pm
@Anthony Lambert: Oh i am gutted, you spotted the rock. Well i couldn't cary it around all day

Stéphane from Near to BXL, Belgium
Nice picture. Good composition. Typical the kind of picture where I should not know If I would use a great or small aperture to either isolate the bird or include it in the landscape.

¡Relajante y cristalino disparo!
Trae a mis ojos, la calma. Esa relajación que la ciudad no tiene.
