Perfect as far as I'm concerned, love the play between darkeness and light, Thomas!
If it was mine, I would darken the top left corner even further to lock that smooth and magical skylight inside the frame.

Thanks for sharing yet another beautiful image with your signature.

I have a good monitor so it's not a factor and I've liked a lot of your stuff you have posted----this just seems quite overly printed to me. But that is the beauty of it----it does not have to suit me. It's what you "saw and felt" at the time and that equivalent "feeling" will not always transfer to the viewer. Your a good sport for taking such a difference of opinion in stride.

I appreciate that. Thanks. I really agree that we have to print our hearts out, regardless of what everybody else thinks. Otherwise the work will not be honest.

I love the mood the print conveys. My eye keeps staring at the reflection on the water, very mystical.

Thanks to you all for your wonderful comments. I am so happy that you recognize mood and emotion, because that is exactly what I'm trying for.

You gotta respect the artist's vision. Some can't get past the point of textbook examples and some have a vision. And this leads me to my APUG pet peeve, and I am sure I will catch a lot of flack for this, and that is critical comments from users who have never uploaded their own pictures to share.

I return to this photograph every few months. It still brings me to tears. Still.
