      and one hell of a picture as well.

      One critique: open up photoshop or some other editor and get rid of that orphaned green branch on the left.

      I get in my car and hit 28th street, there's no room in my camera bag for burritos!

      Mahendra, I removed a branch from the left edge & color adjustments were made.

      Special thanks to Chad for his help before this photo was taken and for getting me over some bumps along the way. He gives his honest opinion and makes great suggestions!
      I cannot forget the grounds crew at the Watermark Country Club - their tireless efforts make this place look great. The balance of the leaves came down today and as I left for home that beautiful yellow pool had been removed!

    34. y_eff (80 months ago | reply)

      Perfect exposure and composition .....
      I am still wondering how is this photograph's dynamic range is so high.... I am still learning how to get a well balanced exposure for the landscape shot.

    35. Sesselja María (80 months ago | reply)

      Excellent shot! Great colors.

      I'll pile on. This is great. I'm a big fan of dark skies and illuminated foregrounds, and this is perfect. When I see "storm light", I grab my camera! Great job.
