Hello Marilyn,
the picture looks "lacy", fragile and as if made of thin threads of gold. This is a very beautiful sight and a very well composed image! :)

Happy New Year to you!!
greetings from sunny cold Stockholm,
Elena

Hello Marilyn,
The view of such a richly decorated and illuminated king's residency is very appropriate for the New-year's greeting card. The composition, with the interesting green foreground, luxurious background and beautiful optical reflection in the middle, is simply marvelous. In addition, the quality of this night shot is more than perfect. Excellent job!
Thanks for your new-year's wishes! A Happy New Year to you too!

Geia sou Marilyn,
a well illuminated nocturne snapshot from the King's house with the reflections to fill the image.I like the multicolour side trees with the 'gold' of the lights to make the scene more effective.

I wish, you and your family a wonderful, peaceful and prosperous New Year,Danos

Hello Marilyn
It takes a lot of "know how" for succeding such perfect exposure in night shot!
The magic of those elaborate decorations doubles in calm water with fine details.
Quite an attractive poster.
Chers.
