Daniel, very nice scene...
Great comp and processing...
Nice warm color and a lot going on with the grass, reflection, trees and rock all fitting together very well.
Makes me think I should shoot more verticals.
Nicely done.

Daniel,

Very lovely. Nice diversity of soft color and I'm really enjoying the reflection. In fact I'm almost wishing the grasses weren't included in the foreground - but they certainly work in the comp as presented. I also like the layered look from top to bottom. Would love to see more left/right, and I'm guessing you have other comps as well.

The one slight distraction I see now after a few looks is the reflected sky in the LRC. Not a huge deal, but kinda distracts just a bit.

Lovely image overall.

Lon

Wonderful scene here, Daniel. The only thing I might try is to clone or C/A out of the image the bright sky water reflection. It might be worth a try just to see if you like it better... :cool:

Lovely. I'm really enjoying this image. The reflected foliage feels very peaceful to me. I could sit by this pond for a long, long while. Nice job
