Nirvana

Thanks, Andrew – You should have seen my face when I was processing this one :)

This is beautiful!

I bet you had a very large grin!!!!! It really is excellent.

Thanks Basia
@ Andrew – I’m still grinning … LOL

Stop it Naomi!! You are making me feel pedestrian. Just too good!

Sorry, John (said with a silly grin)

Xcellent!

Beautiful Naomi.

Can’t wait to see more.
My first impression was, that reflection looks weird, before realising it was a tree you were above on the other side of the river – Incredible.
I can see why you’re well pleased with this. I think its an absolute joy that everyone’s work I watch is getting better and better, and you are definately no exception to this rule.
This and Blue Enchantment are your strongest most powerful works to date – Love ‘em, can’t wait for those others.

Words fail me, straight into my favourites

Dear Naomi.. your work ROCKS !!! Well done !!

beautifully captured.

Your stuff is just getting better and better Naomi…This is perfect in every way..a faultless image…just superb. I cant wait for some decent sunshine! LOL!

I guess you do not have to worry so much about DOF with IR.. Fantastic foreground with image..

i am lost for words – this is soooo beautiful – just going have to add it straight to favourites – brilliant work Naomi :)

WOW, THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT, EVERYONE, I really appreciate it. This is definately my favourite shot – I’m so pleased you all like it too.

This is AMAZING!!

So, you like this one then Naomi? Well I can see why! It’s awesome! the dead tree emeging from the water with its light colour contrasting with the water is fantastic.. you look at the top of the image and it is a beautiful scenic view and then you look down to this twisted form in the darkness.. everything is contrasting so well in every way! Now, where is that favourite button?
