This is a very pretty location. The reflected light on the water adds a nice touch, and my eyes move easily up through the scene with the flow up the water.

Ah, yes, the mighty Hawlings, Maryland's smallest river. The greens in the foreground are very attractive and the river leads nicely back to the blooming azalea in the distance. It would be nice not to have that lone branch arching in from the middle of the right edge, but that's a very minor detail in a lovely scene.

Pleasant scene with well-balanced light. It feels like it captures the place perfectly.

Excellent POV and shutter speed. Maybe a bit more DOF with f11 or so f stop. :wavey:
