Taken over the Lakes of Killarney. Comments welcome.
Thanks, Maurice.

Gorgeous light throughout and texture in the water. Did you try using a dehaze tool on the mountains and their reflection?

wonderful shot Maurice.
IMO you could improve a little bit in adding some vignette or at least increase the contrast (or darken it) of the foreground

Amazing, the colors are spot on. Great scene.

[Wavelength]

So lovely... increasing overall contrast a bit will enhance the magnetism, i feel

Lovely colors and composition Maurice I agree with Jean about darkening the FG a bit .

[Mike Buckley]

I forgot to mention in my first post that there appears to be a serious sharpening halo along the top of the mountains. That might not be in your full-size file. If not, it was probably created when you sharpened your downsized file for display here.

Calm, graceful and elegant. A study in blues and rust tones. Could you please share your camera settings? I assume the time was very early morning or deep into the evening setting sun? The light playing on the visible rocks makes the picture work in my opinion.

Mike, a really big thanks for going to the trouble of commenting a second time. Very much appreciated.

Well taken captured the lighting beautifully. A slight vignetting as suggested would have the added benefit of toning down the brightness on the right hand edge of the photo.

Roger, my apologise, I don't seem to have settings. It was a evening shot at 35mm. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Mike, no dehaze used. Thanks for comments.

Nicely done, looks like it was captured through glass.

If your post-processing software has a dehaze tool or if you know how to minimize the effects of haze manually on your own, attending to that detail would take your image to the next level. It's such a nice image that it would be well worth the time in my mind to get all of that figured out.
