Thanks, Darren. I've cropped out the sky completely as it was almost
featureless and uninteresting, and included the dam which was
previously cropped out, turning this into a wide format image.

Reflections in a pond at Northeast Park in Scottsdale Tasmania
My common aloes have done quite well this year. Not a spectacular variety
but quite colourful when massed. A small Impala Lily plant in there too.

A rather belated reply, Don. Fascinating scenes, well caught, even if
somewhat clandestinely. I don't know much about the Amish except that they
lead strict, insular lives in the old way. The closed in buggies are kept in
amazingly good condition. The car park scene with the buggies cars is a

I haven't used those, but I have used MPIX in the past (a few times 5-7

Darren,
You probably are aware of this, but just in case:
I found that the metallic paper is less forgiving with
respect to the blown highlights. In addition, the color gamut for
that paper is slightly smaller than that for a regular paper.
