Don't let anyone tell you that you have to have your lens completely attached to your camera body in order to get a decent picture. PM me if you'd like to hear why!! The water in this picture has not been enhanced by any other than the camera's own processing. The green is as a result of the minerals in the rocks and the wave length of the sunlight!

Hey PJ,
I agree with bob, very peaceful looking 'pool', although I wouldn't want to go swimming there, I'd rather get a boat and sail around, (~8
Nicely done,

Thanks for sharing
Warm regards

I'd like to know why! Sounds like an interesting story there. I love the green pool and all of the textures made by the flowing water.

Yet another well composed image, the long fracture lines on the rocks works so well with the wider aspect of this photo. Uncluttered image without any fear of being boring.
Great work.

So how do you get the image without the lens attached.......you made me think. Another nice image from this series, I particularly like the way the rocks look so smooth and rich and the colour of the water is lovely in this one too.

wow! it took me for ever to get down to this comment space - you have an army of admirers PJ! lol! ....and I guess your lens was not fastened properly to your camera or fell off just after taking this photo! Well I hope your camera or lens are not damaged! ....and I really love this shot! I definitely think it must be the fountain of youth! ok not a fountain but it is very pretty! ...and what I like most are the natural tones.
