Not a calm, moonlit sea, but the edge of a floodlit swimming pool and terrace viewed from above!

Hi Maggie,
Creative composition and good use of light make this an interesting image.
Hard to tell from the thumbnail what it is, then the surprise to discover it is a swimming pool shot from above is very rewarding.
Lovely shot well spotted.

Peter

Hi Maggie,
An intriguing title... and an amazing result.
Your floodlit swimming pool provides a nice sky and the overall effect is great.
The flowers could have been sharper, but to achieve this you would have required a tripod and probably a manual focus.

Interesting work Maggie, effectful from the bird view. It asure could be taken for a horizon line by first glance. Good idea.

Hello Maggie,
really a scene that all we have seen, but in this case someone want to be very careful, without reading your note, to understand the real facts.Very nice night presentation of this floodlit swimming pool from above.Well done.

Have a nice afternoon,Danos

Hi Maggie,
you played a nice trick with us.:) This is subtle work. Very painting like, with simply beautiful light sources and that green color of the swimming pool...so relaxing. Very well seen and executed with an artistic eye.

Cheers

Hello Maggie,
Beautifull effect, i though first about two persons walking on the horizon... what a mistake :) Colors and light are very good.
Regards, Eric.
