Lovely shot! I think I could be happy there... It reminds me of San Diego, California.

Nice trees, with a lovely colour. It's winter here.

Thanks Richard. Yes the climate here is probably similar to that in San Diego.

Hi Dave
Good capture. The Poincianas are in bloom up here as well. I was wanting to capture the colours as well but haven't come across the right setting as yet. I feel my opportunity is slipping away for this year. What part of the river is that?

Thanks John. I used the "As Shot" WB setting in ACR on the RAW file and the camera was set to Auto WB. The shot was taken from the grounds of Newstead House.
