I'm afraid so chaps! But as a recent disciple to photography it was my first!

I have to say it was a glorious sunset and I took many, many shots across the water at Cheddar Reservoir in the village where I live - but this one, (actually the last shot before I packed up and came home) I probably rate this as one of the best shots I have taken to date...

Sunset across the Reservoir

by Rabc3

, on Flickr

Canon 600D, Canon 17-55mm f/2.8

Possibly average to the more seasoned photographer, I was quite pleased!

Nicely done. Direction of the clouds is spot on. Gotta love when it all works to your advantage like that.

Thanks all!

Luckily the Reservoir is pretty much circular, with a path all the way around so I had many options!

I took a few without the stopper - it was cliche shot heaven with a sunrise, ducks and a pair of swans milling about in front of me - all I needed was a nice lone tree and I could have hung up the camera for good

Thanks guys - really appreciate your comments...

Have a look here for plenty better than mine, including a couple that made 'Explore' - there are some awesome shots.
