very nice composition and light, does seem slightly over contrasty though

Never give up Joe :biggrin:

Nice comp - just as Jack mentioned, a bit too much contrast - is it shot RAW or jpeg?
Posted by Joe Stockwell on September 4, 2008 at 2:56 PM
RAW but probably a little over processed

Don't give up! First rule of nature photography!

Welcome aboard! :wavey:

Nice first post, great point of view and detail, a little contasty as mentioned, but nicely composed.

Look forward to seeing more! :toast:

Welcome Joe. Nits covered above. Very nice composition and the refected green in the water is lovely.

Welcome indeed Joe - a nice first shot, good composition and you've found some nicely coloured water. It is a little over-processed and too saturated for my liking but if it's shoot as RAW you can easily change that to suit your taste.

Look forward to seeing some more.
