I like the complementary presence of that FG, clever!

 

[happy haggis]

The central horizon works really well here, which just goes to prove that rules are for guidance and not blind obedience. I think the symmetry really makes the image. Nicely done.

 

[JasonPC]

Very nice. Agree that having that dark foreground with its nice curves is a smart move and something a lot of people would not have seen.

Good use of the shoreline to make a change from the standard reflection shot.

Nice work. At first, I found the foreground a little overpowering but it has grown on me, especially when I saw it as part of the symmetery of the image. I'd maybe lift the shadows a little to bring a little more detail out of the forground and trees and bump the contrast a bit but apart from that, it's a very nice image, especially if it is off a point and shoot. Well done.

On a footnote, I recognised those peaks straightaway, I'm South Wales Valleys born and bred, now living in Scotland. I'm struggling though with which body of water that is?

I like that image but the horizon isn't even half way up, ideally a 16:9 or 16:10 crop placing the horizon half way or even 3/5 up would work better

Another shot is a longer frame hiding all the foregound and a chunk of the rhs. Good work all the same.

You pointed you shoot and you scored!

 

[Byker28i]

I like the composition, good selection of curved lines across the images, building like layers

 

[gremlin16]

I like it.

 

[alfbranch]

Nice shot
Did you also venture to the edge for a shot with more reflection?
I am only asking to know if you explored the scene.

 

[Mark Johnson]

Great colours and composition....

When did we get that weather????????//

 

[Nguss]

Very nice, the foreground makes it for me. I feel like i would like a tiny little bit more detail in the bottom half in that tit is, for me, only a little bit too dark. Other than that i really like it.

 

[Brazo]

Lovely foreground symmetry with the dark patch. For me a slight crop of the sky accentuates the symmetry further.

Thank you. This is the Upper Neuadd reservoir which is sadly empty now. Taken with a Fuji XT1

I did but the wind picked up and lost the reflection sadly.

Thought it might have been that one, just up beyond the top end of Talybont reservoir. I know the area well. Is the dam still there?

Good choice with the T1, lovely camera. I have aT10 and it was my main landscape camera until I recently purchased a 5Div. I still have my T10 though, love it.
