I like this one best although not a dramatic sky.

I do too, at first I wasn't sure what they were.

Here is a view from the house today just before I went for a ride in those hills.

I like the way you get low and capture interesting foreground. Something we can all learn from.

Thanks Bob,

It was a bit awkward try to compose the shot when the camera was on a pillow on the steps

Yesterday, pond side enjoying the clouds in the sky and in the pond.

I really enjoy these shots with still water reflecting the skies.

This one with ripples is cool too!

Thanks

Those pesky fish like to remind me that a scoop or two of fish food would be appreciated. The surface is hardly ever still but you should see it when Cookie is frantically trying to catch those fish as they swarm around her. Barking, biting, splashing and diving all surrounded by hundreds of fish. Quite a spectacle.

Villagefarang,

What a marvelous view you have from your house. Those clouds are totally magnificent, as is the green foliage in the foreground. The only small criticism I would make is in relation to the the square shape of the pool in the foreground. Squareness tend to jarr a bit with natural nature, so I see a slight compositional conflict there.

Some posts containing altered photos have removed. Kind of like in violation of forum rule 30:

30) Do not modify someone else's post in your quoted reply, either with font or color changes, added emoticons, or altered wording.

Maybe some members need to read this post.

I have another shot where the wall is a straight line but taken as a whole, this shot had a slight edge over the other one. In the end I rationalize that the angle might add a little perspective but I had the same misgivings that you expressed.

Another one with a good composition, beautiful and true colors!

Landscape for me are best just after sunrise or the last 30 minutes before the sun goes down!

Thanks for adding these photos to the thread!

Positive well intended contributions to this topic are indeed appreciated.

Went to check out the water level at our local reservoir and found it even lower than I expected. The sky was nice though.

Looking at the dark cloud, maybe some rain on the way to replenish the water in the dam.

It rained with a vengeance last night but the sun is out again today.

Great composition, VF. I like the way those boats in the foreground spread out at different angles to encompass the whole scene. However, a few attractive Thai ladies climbing onboard might enhance the photo, just a bit.

Sorry there wasn’t a soul up there at the dam, not even a scruffy dog. Tried to get the mountain bike down to the waters edge but the path was to steep and rocky.
