Very good, Francisco. Even the toning adds to the effect. Composition is excellent. Everything works. Bravo!

Very nice. I thought billabongs were indigenous to Australia, or at least that the term was.

Hi, thanks for your comment, the photo is from Australia, central Victoria.

Hmmmm.
Not really working for me - very busy and IMHO it's not clear what the subject is.

Thanks for your comments Terry and David. I do appreciate all feedback.

David, I find it busy when I'm close to it, since the reflected trees fight with the floating plants. When I increase the distance then the trees stand out (for me). It might not work for you anyway, which is valid. Thanks for expressing your thoughts.
