While I appreciate the dramatic sky and its reflection, the thing that captures my eye is the wall and the plants in front of it in the left, not really sure why.
Also, the structure of stone is something that fascinates me very much.

That's one long pool. Is it strictly ornamental or could I do laps?

Strictly ornamental. It's only about 5ft wide and 2ft deep!

It's a standard design in the Japanese style for water gardens and the wall on the left is a hot wall which is in the sun all day so acts like a storage heater and fruit trees were grown on it, qhuite exotic ones, also a Japanese idea.

Very clever . Then didn't the Japanese invent gardening?

That's an amazing shot. Is it a HDR?
Too, bad you didn't take the whole pool...but in a way or in another....it's really great.

Thank you! I couldn't get any further back so this was the best I could do with my widest lense.
