Crystal Lake and the Little White Church...

I've been after this scene for a long time, and finally got a good chance this weekend. Sunday morning, I arrived with a dense fog still on the lake, which was slow to burn off. Eventually I got two distinctly different moods.

I would love for y'all to both critique this shot, and compare it to the one over in Man and Nature.

Thanks in advance...

Very nice Jim. Great reflection. I might try cropping some from the bottom, which will remove the shoreline from being dead center. Maybe to slightly below the reflection of the church steeple!

Excellent Jim! I really like the placement of the church and the lines of green contrasting the colour.

Jim,

I can't decide ... I'm tending to like the one with the fog because it adds to the uniqueness of the image, but this one is so striking with the reflection.

I agree with Rich about the cropping, though.

Great shot!

Great shot Jim. It's much better than the moody fog shot you linked to (IMO). Here the little bit of residual moisture divides the scene nicely.

Jim, both are excellent but I think the fog takes it up another notch. Either of them just scream "New England"!

Terrific color and reflection. Love the fog on the water.

Both are nice, Jim. Great autumn color! I'd have to favor the one with the fog. Not just because of the fog but because of it's placement in the rule of thirds.
