 One of the very few photos that I took in December. The beginning of December saw me finishing my Master's thesis with absolutely no time to go take photos and the end of the month saw me up in Pretoria visiting family and friends with my laptop that is too rubbish to edit photos on.

A dam off the Stellenrust Road (not sure which wine farm, might be Graceland Vineyards), Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa.

Coordinates:
33°59'34.20"S, 18°50'38.40"E

Converted RAW in Lightroom. Cloned out small dust spot, white balance adjustment layer to remove slight green tint, curves adjustment layer to increase contrast, resize, sharpen and save for web.

Lovely horizon line and mirror. I may not agree with the center composition however. The colours are nice and neutral though I may have liked a bit more pop in colour as well as character in the clouds.
