    A very cool image Vivaldo, stupendo, magnifico, love it!

    Perhaps a fraction off the RHS to equal the LHS, WDYT?

    Very nice. I like the soft light, the trees in the BG, and the matching colors of the sky and water and how they sandwich the subjects and terrestrial portions of the BG.

    Personally I think so, but it's your decision? just really like the 'blue' sandwiching the main subject and the water acting as a mirror is a great plus.

    I think you are right Morkel, looks like it.

    Superb image and IQ with great positioning of the Springbok. Incredible light Vivaldo, curious about the time of the day, was this late afternoon?.

    Beautiful scene, Vivaldo, crisp with great light. Enjoyed it very much and the re-crop works better for me.

    Hi Vivaldo

    agree lovely light , lovely reflection, good technicals and processing..

    but as a stand alone image, the subject matter and composition etc doesnt appeal to me.. maybe I am missing something as I will to be the only who thinks this way...
