I am always fascinated with the color and detail of birch trees. Comments appreciated.

Beautiful work Albert. For my tastes a very fine composition. This would be appealing even without the reflections but they add significant interest. Both realistic and painterly at the same time. Wonderful mood as well. I really admire this one.

Just the right blend here, Albert. Love the composition and the colors and of course the reflections

Albert: Marvelous intimate scene and a fine capture. For my tastes I would like a bit less reflected sky. It tends to pull my eye a bit but I would not get rid of it completely. Well done.>=))>

Beautiful light and excellent contrasts of light and shadow. I too like the colors you captured.

And you've caught their colours superbly here, Albert ! A lovely composition with the trunks leading in from the right - there's a real sense of atmosphere in this.

This is a good capture of what I assume is a small pond or marsh area. Nice lighting, the touch of red in the middle enahnces the overall comp, good detail. I'm torn about whether or not to show less sky reflection. Either way would be nice, Albert.

Great job, Albert. I like the reflected trees in the LLC but I might be tempted to tone down that area just a little.
