Another from an early morning paddle among the relics along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

This is really well done David. Love the light, comp and mood. Some might suggest a little off the top to fully balance it, but looks pretty good to me.

David, I really like this! The light here is fantastic! as is the reflection. I like how the horizon has almost disappeared and the water and sky blend so nice. Wonderful color and great comp too! This is really nice work.

When I first saw this, I thought of some pic on the dust jacket of a SciFi book. When I saw the larger image I figured out where it was and just knew it had to be yours. This is really a WOW shot. You seem to know when the air will be absolutely still. Wonderful colors, detail, and, of course, a great composition. Well done.

Fascinating to compare with your prior post David. Both are outstanding in their own right.

A splendid image, very graphic- Composition is perfect, as your treatment of light- At first I was thinking about a slight enhancement of the light on the lower side, just to strengthen the simmetry of the image, but probably yours is the best way to depict it- My best congrats, Fabio

Nice image. I like the visual clues that are provided as to what's going on here, since there is some ambiguity as to where the water line horizon is located.

Another fascinating image David. I like ow the sky and water blend together and how the tree remnants look like ships.

That is a super neat formation! Beautiful image! I wonder if it might be even better if a little was cropped off the top? I love how the sky & water join...

Gorgeous David. This almost looks contrived - and I mean that as a compliment. In other words, it's not often we can find and capture nature in such a way that it doesn't look real - if that makes sense. What is catching me too is the lack of a horizon line to the right of the stump. I can see it gradually fading left to right, but because the stump interrupts things, it makes the right side look like it's much different than left of the stump. But that keeps me looking trying to figure it all out. But just as easily I can back off and truly enjoy this beauty.

Another great shot! This could be the cover for a Sci Fi magazine or book from the 70s. Spectacular!

Wild looking. The calm of the water/sky work well with the crazy shape of the relics. Tone contrast orange and blues very nice too. Nicely seen.
