I've been going back and forth on this photo for a year now. I like it, but I don't think it's a wall hanger. I'd like my fellow photogs opinions...

Walupt Lake, July 2006
Just after sunrise.

Speaking of Walupt Lake, we'll be taking our anual family/friends camping trip to Walupt June 30 - July 4 so if you're in the area look us up. My knee will keep me pretty much in the campground this year, but stop by for a beer or a dram... Or a burger if you come by at dinner time... :biggrin:

That's a sweet reflection. I don't think it's a wall hanger, either, but not every picture needs to hang on a wall, IMO. I still enjoyed looking at the picture. It looks like it was a great morning to be up and about.

It makes me want to be there sitting back in a lawn chair sipping a beer and just relaxing.

Well then, I guess my work here is done! :biggrin:

Did someone say beer? :smile:

It looks a bit compressed, but other than that, I like the scene. I agree, probably not a wall hanger, but it does give me a nice feeling.

Hi Curtis,

I had to look twice... While I like the colours and the texture of the water - there appears to be a collection of logs under the water that are visible in the image. Very cool. I like it.

I like it, Curtis, it look maybe a bit over sharpened but not bad. I think I'd take a bit off the bottom but after that, heck, I'd print it and hang it in the bathroom. I mean, ya can't have a Marc Adamus "Creation of the Earth" 24x36 hanging in in there, this one is pleasant enough for me to look at while I'm doing some other work...

ROFL! Ya know Mark, I'm just not sure how to take that! :biggrin:

Lee, you got a good eye! I know the logs are there and I can barely make them out myself! I actually tried getting them to show up better, but everything I tried made the whole image look wierd.
