Sweet shot Robert. It's almost like two different worlds. Smoke and Mirrors comes to mind for some reason. ;]

Nice graphic image. Has an old-time look. The mist over the reflection makes the shot.

NICE!! I think I would crop a bit of the dark top off and give it a very slight CCW rotation. Reminds me of Ansel Adams! :toast:

Very strong and appealing image that works well in B&W. I agree with Phillip Noll's comments otherwise, but this is quite a winner.

Nice strong B&W image. Could see cropping some of the dark trees at the top.

Robert,

Great capture and an excellent choice in presenting in b&w. Just enough mist - not so much that the reflections are obscured. I like this very much. I might agree with a slight crop of the dark up top, but not a big deal.

Adams? Nah, I'd say closer to Weston.... :wink:

Nice graphic B&W with an excellent mood to it. I would concur with the crop suggestions.

great conditions. if you wish to be really bold, you might consider the square crop that the bottom half of the image forms.

A very interesting shot, Robert. The block separation of upper and lower areas of the image is very nice. I like the b/w processing, but I can't help but think a more subtle, softer approach to the contrast might work as well. The lower reflection area of the image seems quite bright compared to the upper area, which is probably the light hitting the mist.
