I plead rain as my excuse too!... but this is nice... there's something rich about it

LOL - I agree with you about getting hung up on technique.
Whatever, I really like this shot. kind regards jono

Thanks Paul. If you like it, that's the best value judgment you can make. Ultimately it isn't about technique, what your shutter speed was, how many filters you used: it's about whether you like an image or not - and the reasons for that are often subtle and undefined. In photography I think we can tend to get too hung up on technique at the expense of aesthetics.

I'm a colour lush. This reminds me of bullet casings back when I used to load my own. I also like high key when its done well. To me its rich, a little mysterious and has a subtle high key feel. But its so subjective and I'm still the learner here. But, yes I like it! - Paul

Do you really like it? I was thinking of replacing this one as well. I don't seem to be doing very well with the theme I set ;-) It would help if it would stop raining! It is me, yes. I'm getting fed up with having myself in my shots, and I'm sure everyone else is sick to death of seeing me too...
The rest of the reflections are trees, which give the shapes that reminded me of Gaudi's famous cathedral in Barcelona.
