Lovely Angella! I love how you composed them all especially, as well as your framing. The first is my favorite - the interrupted line of the water is fabulous!

I can definitely see the praying hands too in your tree. Sending prayers up for your mum's speedy recovery xx

And I think they are great, especially the 1st two shots. The clarity is fab!

I like your shots very much, they're finely made!
I just don't love those heavy frames around the pictures; but I'm sure it's just me.

Excellent reflections, Angella. Your first was some amazingly smooth water! I also like your praying hands.
