Beautiful, very well done.
That's a corker, Alan!
Beautiful lighting - a superb capture!
wowww.... fantastic shot :)
beautiful site to wake up to this morning, as I drink my coffee, YAWWWWWN !! have a great day!
Taken from the road leading to Rakewood unless I'm mistaken Alan, down near the salmon fields. I used to drive along there every day on my way to work, we used to have an access point up under the viaduct, when I was working building the M62 Motorway. Excellent shot, I was on holiday with my mother in Rhyll, North Wales many years ago, and we went on a mystery tour, yes you guessed it we finished up at Holingworth Lake.lol. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
What a gorgeous photo you took Alan! got some ducks in it even :-) very good job mate.
very nice atmospheric shot!
Sp pleasant to look at. Lovely mood ;O)
Alan,this is a beautiful image. I love the colouring and the compo. Well done! xx
A serene image, Alan. It gives me a nice warm frisson, and a slight deja vu. With Easter coming up, it reminded me of a dawn service on Easter morning at a wee loch, within the grounds of a Passionist retreat house in Coodham, near Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, Scotland, around 1970. They had fewer ducks there, but a few swans. Have a joyful Easter when it arrives, my friend. May you experience the wonder of Creation, and be glad. Regards,John.
What a gorgeous shot! The composition, colors, light ... all spectacular!
Beautifull place, marvelous colors and place.. an amazing shot Alan!
The word glimmer works for me here...a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of the day, a glimmer of light...but the overall capture is so much more than a glimmer. This is really honest and outstanding work.
Wow, what a view, glad you found this one!!
