caught some slack time the other day, so I snuck out to the woods. There were a few puddles since we have had plenty of rain. I shot a few reflections. I liked how this one showed the leaves in the water.

The top 3/4 of this photo really holds most of my interest. IMO, you could easily lose the bottom 1/4 and it'd really strengthen the composition. Other than that, I really like everything else. The detail and clarity are amazing...congrats on achieving that handheld! Overall a very nice photo.

Nicely done! Love the clarity in the shadow and color accents of a few of those leafs under the water, it all adds up to a great image.

Neat shot Kendall. I guess I've not seen anything quite like this before. The mirror-like reflections juxtaposed with the very clear view under the water make this a fine image. I think I like it as posted, without any cropping.
Really nice, Kendall. I particularly like how the trunk reflection is completely revealing the puddle's bottom and the sharp outlines, scattered about, of those elements that are piercing the surface.

I'd like to see the brown vertical separation a bit more diagonal but overall a very interesting and well exposed image

Lots to see in this image, Kendall. I really like the way the shadows reveal the underlying leaves and the way you've captured the surface tension. nicely done.
