The Matheson Mirror, a photo from West Coast, South Island

Photographer's Note

I woke up very early to take this shot.
This shot is very famous in NZ and is already in TE.
I'm sure that this pic need some post-work but as i already said i'm not very kind with Photoshop (i'm on it).
So if you have some time to spnd on this photo don't hesite.
TIA.

Lovely picture, great framing, exceptional colours. The bucolic ambiance can be felt across the screen. I´ll try to WS it to bring it to it´s limits, but what I would really like is to be there! hehehe

A wonderful capture Christophe. The stillness of the water causes a nice mirror in your composition. Speaking of which, I posted a WS for you. My aim was to balance the silhouettes and I felt that the negative space on the left side of the left tree part distracted me. Just a slight cut of an already excellent shot :)

Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion d'y aller car le temps me manquait, mais j'y retournerais un jour :-) En tout cas, la reflexion est parfaite, l'effet mirroir magnifique. Bravo !
