First off, let me say what a truly stunning capture you have here! The colors within the photo are very vibrant and beautiful! I really love how well the trees and greenery reflects on the beautiful waters. The only suggestion I would have is that maybe you could tone down the brightness in the center of the photo just a bit. I love how the center of the photo is bright and the edges are darkened, but perhaps the center could be a shade darker. This is a really inviting and pleasing image that you have here! Wonderful work friend!

Getting ready to leave Ireland...And heartbroken to do so, because I'll be leaving so many things behind me, including myself. Otherwise I'm fine.

Back to France for a couple of years...preparing to move to Ireland again - for good, that time.
It will take some time...but I will get there. And I'll make sure to drop by every now and then to recharge my psychological batteries, too.

This is such an inviting and calming picture. The clarity and detail you have managed to obtain is excellent. I am aware of how difficult it is to balance the level of sunlight and shadows and the contrast to maintain the details, so well done. The reflection is also beautiful. Wonderful.

A place called "Les Eaux Bleues" (The Blue Waters) in Tavers, a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.
According to what I read on a board, the quicksands one can see beneath the surface (not in this picture, though) act as a filter that cleans the water constantly and gives it those transparent, bluish/greenish tones.

Thanks!
