Shot this a while back but never processed it until the other day. Thought it reflected the dark, somber tone of winter.

Pretty cool feel to this. Might crop a bit of the top...but then again might not. Feels slightly centered w/ the horizon. Either way a moody fun shot :)

Very nice composition and mood Bill, it has a lonely feel to it, almost spooky. Beautifully seen and presented.

I like this image, its moody blues and nice lighting. The foreground grasses catching the moon light are a nice touch. Good job, Bill. Chet

Bill, I agree this really captures the mood of winter, even if it is Florida! I love the exposure here and the gentle textures on the water really bring it to life.

Bill, This is very nice!..and I love the mood you captured. The light on the rippled water and foreground grass looks fantastic.

Just love how you bring good light to every image, Bill. Great comp as well. You seem like someone who sees pictures wherever you may be.

As you put it Bill, a somber tone of winter. Well seen and captured. The composition makes a nice flow from the moon along the reeds right back to the viewing spot. Just enough light here to make it work too.

An impressive capture of the atmosphere to me, Bill. The reflection is spot on to my eye. The foreground grasses add a lot of interest and make me feel like standing right there at the shoreline.

I like this moonlit scene! I especially like how the moon is highlighting the grasses in the water in the foreground.

I find myself drawn to this image. The composition is quite striking and so is the nature of light here.
