That's beautiful! Is it a "stitched" photo in order to get that wide sweeping view?
Good eye. Yes, I had to stitch it to get it all in.
It was the fact that it's longer in proportion to the height that made me suspect. I couldn't find any evidence of the stitching, though, even though I did try! ;)
Very nice Barbarian. The colors and contrast are excellent. What software are you using here?
Very well done :thumbsup:
I'm using Microsoft ICE. Just downloaded it (freeware) and I'm pleased so far.

I'm using Microsoft ICE..................
Thanks Barbarian, I'll have to check it out.
Beautiful Barbarian!
I should say that ICE was just the beginning. To get this shot, I took three exposures and stitched them with ICE.
Then I trimmed them up and adjusted things in GIMP.
Then I tone mapped with Martin Sykes' excellent freeware. http://www.autohdr.co.uk/
Then I cleaned up the noise, in Neat Image.
All freeware, all great stuff. Oh, and this one is from the end of the pool, instead of the sides:

And Mrs. B's approach:

Yours almost looks like a poster Barbarian. I would love to see that myself.
Mrs.B's are interesting. She seems more interested in statues and illustrations....Am I right? Tell her well done I like them!
Yes, I've noticed that. Mrs. Barbarian is using her telephoto a lot more, isolating a part of the scene. I think it's a stage all serious photographers experience. I've been more interested in sweeping vistas lately.
Here's something else she did at Fair Park:

Nicely isolated the action and geometry of the bas-relief. I like the sculpture because it really shows how 80 years ago, the culture celebrated industry and mechanical ingenuity. Today, it's technology of electrons.
I gotta say she is a fantastic photographer.
