Misty Morning Reflections

Grabbed this shot just after sunrise this morning. A bit of fog lifting off of a pond in Groton State Forest, VT. The color is just about gone around Groton. But this little patch is hanging on. I shot this verticle also, but wanted to post the horizontal to get people's opinion. Just wondering if the bush on the right hand side is too dominant? My goal was to grab the viewer's eye on the right, and then have them sweep along the shoreline.

Hey Rich, the image flows nicely from right to left. I don't see the bush on the right as too dominant at all, to the contrary I think it is a nice anchor and gives some information about what the understory veg. is like all along the shore. I'd be curious what the vertical looks like too. I suspect it will really set off the birch trunks and reflection nicely. I'd love to see it. Is this at boulder beach? Or perhaps Kettle from the launch?

Thanks Kurt. Your second guess is right-on! This is looking right from the boat portage at Kettle!

Rich,

I agree that the bush on the right does not over do it. I really like this image with white trunks and the colors.
The rocks look very whitish and I was wondering if you had a rock for the right center of the foreground (instread of the portage ramp) it would have moved the eye from the foreground around to the right and then back to the left would you have used that?
It hard to judge the verticle sight unseen but I like the way the horizontal flows. . .

Hi Richard! Pretty shot! I have no problem with the bus either...I think it adds to the comp.

Lovely lovely shot! Congratulations from a PNW lurker. More!
