What a great series! My favorite is meandering river beds.
Steve
Thanks Steve, That particular location is tough as there are ton of people walking thru. The path behind me is for people who are staying outside the secured gate. Glad you enjoyed it.

Captivating. I spend significant time there and couldn't get enough. The location, nature and the whole history, all is amazing.You did a good job> Thanks for allowing me to enjoying the whole scene again.
Bob
Thanks Bob, That whole area is very photo rich but crowds are just incredible. really hard to get an image inside the abbey. Here is one more image that I forgot to post with the original set. This was shot right where the shuttle bus stops.

Beautifully done, Parul
Thank you KD, thanks for stopping by.
#1 and #5 work the best for me. Your patience was well rewarded, they are lovely
A couple of (hopefully) constructive comments:
1) For #1 I can't remember if they allowed walking on the wetlands, but if they did perhaps walking on the left bank to open up the visual flow to the abbey along the channel?
2) For #5 there is some ambiguity what the main subject is. Perhaps a higher zoom to emphasize the abbey more and use the formations in the FG as a guide to the eye
3) The foreground "junk" in the lower zoom images is distracting for me
4) I think you can walk to the abbey at any time of the day or the night, it is a relatively short pleasant walk even from hotels that are not within the gate.
I was there several years ago during very low tide and the channels were empty. There was just a small puddle near the abbey itself. Perfect to make it look like a large lake with a SWA lens and a low perspective

Just beautiful, all are special and very well captured.

Thanks Marcelo, usually this location is amazing for sunrise as the light hits the abbey but I was blessed with rain and fog which kind of gave it a different look.

Thanks Boyan, for a detailed feedback. I saw quite a few people walking on the wetlands. Yes, one can walk to the Abbey anytime but the narrow streets are jam packed and impossible to photograph.
#3 - The foreground "junk" in the lower zoom images is distracting for me - Not sure which image you are talking about.
BTW, your image is very nice
