Poyners Creek
This is one of the areas that inspired me to try my hand at photography. Who can complain of an hour drive to work with views like this? Converted to HDR and post processed by fellow Bubbler Andy Mueller. Thanks Andy!
I am overwhelmed by the response to this shot. To the point of unable to reply a thank you individually. I will check out your work and leave a comment there:)
Thank you ALL for your kind comments:)...and taking the time to scroll down to add them. Much appreciated.

You do great work and this is my absolute favorite of your landscapes. I’d like to try an acrylic version of this scene in the near future if you don’t mind. We certainly don’t have scenes like this here in New Jersey, that’s why I have to paint them myself!
Angel Perry in reply to Craig Granato’s comment
Coming from such a talented person as yourself….I would be honored! I’m sure I would love it. Can’t wait to see it.

Hi Angel,
Thanks for bringing a little piece of heaven to us on earth. This is an amazing photo, and it seems like you have a great relationship with “the powers that be.” Say a prayer for the friends and family members that I have back in Iowa. Thanks again for your inspirational photo. It brought tears to my eyes!

Outstanding image, the colors are beautiful and so is the composition.

Wow, now think about this option for a second; This image printed onto glass & built into a frame with soft lighting behind it with a slightly annimated effect. Not a gimmick but an additional dimension for an already fabulous image. Well done to you both.

This is fantastic, and you are right about views like this. I am presently trying to do HDR, but everytime i try one it just doesn’t look like I think it is suppose to look. Can’t figure out if doing them on Adobe photoshop just doesn’t work? Anyway this is another of my favs.

YES, IF I HAD TO DRIVE PAST A PLACE LIKE THIS EVERY DAY, I WOUDN’T MIND EITHER. GREAT SHOT. I LOVE SUNRISES AND SUNSET, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE A REFLECTION LIKE THIS ONE HAS. THE AREA OF CALIFORNIA I LIVE IN DOESN’T HAVE MANY PLACES LIKE THIS TO GET SHOTS LIKE THIS THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING. AT LEAST I HAVEN’T FOUND IT YET. GREAT SHOT. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK. BOB
