absolutely beautiful, Phillip. it has a minimalist quality...great light. I love the slight reflection of the clouds on the water as well as the gentle ripples there.

Perfect exposure Phil!
fantastic photograph! *nailed* it!
I love the composition, and how the soft tone calms the image down.. you almost have to be wuiet to view it! Shoooting in white.. mate... that's a tough exposure to pull off, and you did an amazing job!
very nice!
well done mate! congrats on the award!

Hi Phil,
I did not see this image previously. The fog must have been very heavy during this time. Your compositional skills are just excellent, the framing of the reeds and placement of the horizon, just right. Congratulation on one of many awards. I have settled on a new job and have now been able to balance my work and time for family and photography :-)

..............CONGRATULATIONS.....................
Another well deserved award Phil. A wonderful exposure and a thoughtfully composed misty moody early morning landscape study. The rising mists and the faint outlines of the background trees look breathtaking. Well done to you. Very best wishes......Ray:)
