I went for a stroll for an hour to clear the cobwebs away and happened upon this lovely scene,

Nice stroll there Gary,lol. Wish I would come across a view like that in my neighborhood. I would have liked to have seen a little more of the sky but otherwise great shot!

Nice. Dramatic sky and crisp reflections. I like the way the wier takes you in to the picture.

At least you resisted the urge to stop down and blur the water... I'm SO sick of seing blurred water shots!! Just for variety, I wish someone would take some ultra high speed shots.. frozen, crystaline drops glinting in the sun or something.

Anyway... I'd go back when the sun is in different positions... the lighting is boring in that one. Which way are you facing, and where does the sun rise/set in relation to that shot? From what I can see, the sun is about 8 o'clock from where you're stood, and seems quite high, so maybe going back at late evening, and shooting it backlit would be nice.

No nice rivers near me. There's the sea of course, but taking high speed shots of that will just freeze the turds and used condoms as they get churned about. :lol:

Plus.. i'm utterly useless at landscapes.. I'll leave that to those with more experience. I shoot people and cars generally, and spend 90% of my time in a studio.

Still.. lighting is lighting... what works ina studio, works on location... in fact.. on the occasions I do venture outside, my studio experience seems to help, especially when I start to use flash on location. After all... the sun is just another flash head to me... it's just to high uip to reach if I wish to move it.
