Number 1 is my favourite of the three. A very nice, ethereal feel about it.

I agree about the first one. Well composed and rendered, and the word ethereal fits well.

I really impressive set, Matt.

I am torn between the first two but the tonality on all of them is superb.

Thank you all for your comments.

Funny how some days the light just doesn't work, but it worked nicely yesterday with an ever changing mix of sunshine & building clouds

This lagoon has previously give me trouble getting a satisfactory composition that wasn't too busy with reflections & trees, but yesterday I spent less time shooting and more time looking and thinking. Was only a short distance from someone's back fence in places so was hoping they would not think I was lurking suspiciously  ;D

But I finally found a few spots that worked nicely  ;D
