I love all ! On first one, I would preffer if you cut out the sky and stay focus on water. Anyway, very good shoots.

These are really great ... perhaps I'm so excited because I haven't seen water for awhile...lol. No, I really do like them.

Geez Moi....This guy in this photo sure was determined to catch a fish....as a matter of fact, he's been there soooo long that he's turned to bronze! If the fish were not biting by the end of the FIRST day...I would have went home!

Just kidding!!

Love the photos....great captures.

Hi shiraq-no sky and no shape of the grasses to look at! Many thanks for the feedback.

Excellent shots. I like them all, but the third is my favorite. I just see myself sitting on that rock and contemplating all that beauty. Matter of fact, that might have been me and I turned to bronze...

Wow moi, what a fantastic series .. the 2nd of the stump has so much to enjoy, the bronze is so peaceful, the you've captured the power of of what looks like a tidal rip in 3, but I can't say enough about the perfect scene in #1, so a water term will have to suffice - Gushing over it ..thx for these!

Hi Mike.........the Japanese Gardens are truly beautiful and all the water is very special....lots of layers and lots of reflection.........both in the figure and in reality!! Thank you for the nice feedback.

Jack-many thanks for the lovely comments. Amazing how water can be so peaceful and then again so powerful.......always interesting,though.
