Swan Lake near my hometown has suffered from low rainfall during the summer. Winter rains have replenished the lake and with the promise of more to come, hopes are high that it will once again force its way through the sand barrier to the ocean and recommence the life cycle.

A really beautiful view with the cloudbank and rippling reflections.

"The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in the eternal."
George Santayana
Judging by this, it looks like it needs to rise by another couple of metres, Frank. Let's hope it makes it. It's a beautiful spot.

What a beautiful shot Frank - I hope it makes it to the ocean.

A scenic shoreline, the lake and dunes seem a idyllic place to observe and enjoy both shores. A beautiful location. I enjoy this perspective of both. Nice skies too.

every day is a gift......that's why it's called the present!!
Spectacular capture Frank with outstanding colours and beautiful view. It does look like you need a lot more rain and hope it comes.

Lovely shot...with your absolutely total focus trademark all through it. I like the care you took to get the dark blue waterline in the center back clear and obvious...tells the story quite well! And it is nice to see some potential rain clouds rolling in. I hope to see another shot after the rains come.

Amazing shot!
Composition, reflections, colors, it all works very well together and it's a joy to look at this shot:o)

Carpe Diem!
Breath-taking, and a most excellent composition, Frank! Nature certainly has it's way of surprising us at times. I am hopeful :) Faved.

*Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. ~Scott Adams*
Although the lines are subtle, the composition does work well to guide your viewer eye's throughout.
Very well done on the technical side of things, in addition.
Caveats?
None, really. And although this might sound like nit-picking, simply putting this out here for your consideration. Perhaps, if the image editing capabilities are available to you and at your disposal.
Some, being the operative word ... Chromatic Aberration (blue fringing) is present. Which can be corrected via the Lens Correction functions and options in some software. Notably, and off the top of my head ... CS Photoshop (unsure of which exact versions).
Have to experiment with your lens to find where C.A. starts to enter the photo. As at some f number ... and typically beyond that of getting the scene captured nice and sharp ... one can expect some C.A. to creep in.
It is minor here, to be clear. Just imparting some food for thought for you.
That said and reiterating, nice shot ... and but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Ok, found it. Words of advice from Paul Gerritsen;
"Critique by Paul_Gerritsen on "Fallen":
"Hi Stephen,
this one took my breath away!
such a fantastic photograph, congratulations.
You seem to know what you are doing, but when I look at you camera settings there is one point you could improve. When you use f36 you cannot obtain a sharp image anymore. That is due to chromatic aberration. In optics, chromatic aberration is caused by a lens having a different refractive index for different wavelengths of light (the dispersion of the lens).
I don't want to go in details here, but simply said there is a minimum aperature above which a higher f number will not improve you sharpnes anymore. That number is about f11. Maybe you want to experiment with your lens to see were you get the best results.
Paul"
