Gorgeous area, I would love to see the bridge in black and white, without the light of the sun...:)

@Lorraine: thank you Lorraine, I will have to go back and have another go

This is a sort of an impressionist picture in the sense that gives the impression we would get looking in the direction of the sun, with those strong reflections preventing us from viewing the details.

@António Pires: this was taken in to direct sunlight

I wish the sun was shining like that here today, love the reflection of the bridge in the water too.

lovely scenery and lovely shot alun -- although i am sorry to say i do think the reflection is distracting. i agree w/ lorraine -- this could be stellar in b/w!

Great capture of the sun in the water. The reflections are superb!

Alun - A beautiful setting. I don't have a problem with the solar reflection but find the lens flare in the sunlight distracting. I'll echo the comments of Lorranie and DJ in saying it would be interesting to see this in black and white. (it was good to hear from you)

That is a great looking bridge. The lens flare is a trifle much though.

Hi Alun!...Love this shot! I like the lens flare-it sort of makes my squint to look at it which makes me feel like I'm there! Cool Huh! Glad to be back and see your pics again.
