As above, so below. The reflections are super and all the elements, the tree, the twinkle, the reflections and the colors make this so lovely to look at. Wonderful find and capture, Chris.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I do believe you got the 'flash' so many sunset photogs go for just as the sun slips belolow the horizon and a lovely star effect to boot. This is a beautiful image Chris! ~Mary~

This is absolutely fantastic, Chris!! Your night shots are just spot on. The reflections are what does it for me and the fact that you captured a wonderful sunset, without the sun even in the shot is so cool! Awesome work...faved!

I really like this photograph.
Just lookibg at it makes me want to go to bed and start dreaming about this place!
Great technique, very clear and nice colors.
This is really beautiful. The colors, the reflection, the clarity, it's all fantastic. I was lucky to be able to vote on it. A perfect capture - it's in my favorites.
Had to visit the original after seeing what you did with this later. It's a fantastic image too but the crop really does make it. I read somewhere that the secret of a great image is simplify, simplify, simplify and it certainly worked with this.
