Darren,
Good comp....but as in Punchbowl, the logs bother me....then there's that large blank space at the bottom that doesn't add anything. I do think the exposure in the upper half...back into the trees, is great and very attractive.

I hear ya Rick, and this was as far as I could go....it got DEEP and not much to hold on to....
that log could easily be moved if I were to make a swimming trip out of it!
I like this Darren, I think the reflection in the water FG is leading you right into the scene, and I like the log, I think it adds a nice detail and some great color contrast to the image.
I think it would be better without the log, but as it is, I like it. I don't think I would crop it either. The highlights in the water create a nice lead in, and as Jeremy said I like the contrast between the bottom and top.
