@Ryan Yam: Thanks Ryan

Gorgeous! I like the reflection in the lake, and how you have incorporated both water and land into the picture.

@Lia: Thanks Lia. When I saw the reflection in the lake I just knew I had to take this image and that Bonsai was Gorgeous. I'd hate think how much it's worth.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Nice take, like the blurred people in the background.

@Chris Sullivan: They do add some character. They were actually 3 old women using umbrella's Check tomorrows photo. I caught 2 of them in action.

Colour blind from Tokyo, Japan

Very pretty!!! The combination of water and land is impressive. THe reflection of the trees in the backgroundis great!!! This is where a polorizing filter would do wonders. Top job mate!!

@Colour blind: Thanks mate. Will be grabbing a polorizing filter sometime next week hopefully if time plays my way

Gnarf from Stockholm, Sweden

I agree with what already has been said, the composition is great! I also like how the colors get less intensive further away in the image. Keeps the focus on the bansai even tho it is at the bottom of the image.

@Gnarf: Thanks Gnarf. I'm glad the focus gets brought back to the Bonsai. I wanted the Bonsai and the reflection to grab peoples attention but felt I needed a little colour in the top so I included the Autumn trees.

I really love this - the composition is just excellent - I also love the three blurred people in the background - it really adds to it.

Fantastic composition. I agree with Kelly that a polarizing filter would be nice to have on hand for this shot, simply for the option of including the contents of the pond in the water. If there's nothing of merit in there...
