    Bright is famous for the Autumn colours of the main street. You may have picked up some of that colour here or the red glow might be entirely from the low angle sun. It doesn't matter. The result is dramatic and made even more so by the dark framing mountains, sky and foreground.
    An atmospheric panorama.

    Not quite but yes, this stitched panorama was shot in mid Autumn with the sun low and to the right, so the colours of the leaves were close to their best for that time of year.

    I posted in another thread (or maybe it was earlier in this one; I can't remember) that my normal workflow is to first create a documentary version of what I saw and then where appropriate experiment with creating a digital art version. The above is the "artistic" version with the red glow being artificial.

    Below is the documentary version being pretty much what I saw at the time.

    "Drama" and "atmosphere" in a sort of night scene is exactly what I was aiming for with this "artistic" version. 👍

    Drop acid and you might see this without a mirror. (not that I would know; I am a drug-sissy)

    Very cool effect. It's amazing what light will do if you let it.

    Very cool and one of a kind find. Imagine the effort it took!?

    The thing that makes this an exceptional shot is the almost mirror like reflection from the windows - leading one to believe that it might be some new form of patterned tinting. We can see the reflection in the paintwork, and that may be a clue that it is actually a reflection. But without being told as much, the illusion is convincing.

    Going through old pictures. My wife and granddaughter 7 yo at the time went to swim with dolphins.

    The waiter seems like a magical figure growing out of the glass.

    A person would do this photo a lot of good, it's a good photo nonetheless.

    I thought I gave this photo my best rating because I can't express it in words.
    A bit of your vanity is shining through.

    I plead guilty to some vanity.

    But actually… I am always really curious to try to figure out WHY exactly an image (mine or someone else’s) makes an inpact. Trying to find words to express that has (for me personally) alwys resulted in a deeper understanding. That is why I am pushing a bit.

    Beautiful family memories shots of what must have been a fun day. The line of people from the side and the matching line of dolphins gives pleasure with the repetition. The freezing of the action, water drops and dolphon bodies and expressions lets the viewer enjoy details that would otherwise be missed. One of the pleasures of photography. The sequence lets us follow the curve of the dive. Actually, I think we have at least two dives here that have been arranged in sequence.
    Much as I think the photos are fine, I don't like animal trained acts however.
