 I was on my way home from trying to capture some of Texas' great spring wildflowers one evening when I passed this beautiful park in Blanco, Texas. When I stopped, there was almost this surreal feeling of being in a Norman Rockwell picture. People were walking around holding hands and smiled. Children were swinging and giggling. Dogs were wading in the water trying to catch fish. It was a perfect spring feeling!!!

I can hear cicada's buzzing faintly in the distant trees! Your pictures always make me homesick... but in a good way. They are always little slices of everything I love about Texas.

Don't you love it when your out looking for something in particular and run up on a treasure like this? Lovely capture. The color of the water and sky are amazing.

This is really great. I like how you got both warm and cool colors in the same photo. I hope you are trying to sell this print somewhere...

Hello Sandy, this is really quite excellent and I'm surprised it did not place higher. You have a great eye and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lots more fantastic entries on the horizon.

Interesting transition in color, was this done with a filter?

Beautiful light, strong diagonal line. This photo has somewhat of an "other world" feeling to it.

Absolutely beautiful!!! I think the water looks too blue... I would have like to have seen a warm filter used to bring out the sky to counter the blue... otherwsie I love it!

Beautiful scene! Only thing I would have change is to done down the blue in the little water fall. I find it a little distracting but over all good work.

Wonderful juxtaposition of warm and cool colours. Trees aren't sharp enough though.

A beautiful scene, silky falls and a great peek of the sun through the trees. Great work at bringing out the green color in the grass under the low lighting. Super!

What a beautiful capture of a sunset. The natural effect of a sun star throught the tree is execellent. The colors are brilliant, and your camera settings were perfect to create a perfect 10. Good Job!! Hope you do well in this mega large challenge. I will be adding this to my favorites.
