The Diana Fountain at Bushy Park.

I was waiting all day to come over to Bushy Park for the sunset, I was hoping the sky would remain clear and it did. I know this place very well but I never quite know until I arrive exactly where the sun will be as moves a lot depending on the time of year. I need the sun immediately behind the statue and plinth and the best light is about 10 minutes after sunset.
Amazing sunset. Caught it so well!

Perfect. You anticipated nature just right. Photography does take planning and waiting - two important life skills. Love all the deep blue tones , the shine of the water in the middle and the soft feathers of the tree. The orange giving it the life and contrast to make a lovely end of the day photo.

@helixconcepts @pam1 Thank you Laura and Pam - do you find that pics uploaded on 365 sometimes look a bit dull/not so saturated? I upload the same images to Flickr and these are a lot brighter. I suppose I just need to increase the saturation on the 365 ones (here a link to Flickr if you have time to compare - http://www.flickr.com/photos/emmadurnford/8699428203/in/set-72157632406759984 ) . I do love Bushy Park, we are lucky to live so close and you are right about the waiting, not one of my strongest points!!

@emmadurnford Yes - I would agree that the flicker one is more vibrant. But I couldn't compare with mine as at this point I am just loading them onto 365.
