Nice series. I like the horizontal view (#2) because it encompasses more of the pond and the reflection. Nicely composed, too.
I also like the color tones of #3.

I really like your composition in #2. That light would certainly inspire me to break out the camera.

I went out for a sunrise shoot this morning - not a cloud in the western sky.
By noon it was snowing here in Westminster. :rolleyes:

Really nice, Soubhik . I like the strong pull the vertical image has, but I do also like the wide-open feel of the second. In both the comp is really, really strong.

These are nice...I vote for #2 with #1 close behind.

#2 is my favorite and love the light! I also like the fish that is laying just under the big ice chunk.

Some pretty crazy warm light--i agree with the others, #2 is the clear winner!

I think the horizontal pond captures more the feel of the warm reflections. You had a great few moments of delicate light.

One more vote for #2 as the best of these, but they are all nice. The horizontal version has a calm and peaceful feel to it for me.

I like both 1 and 2. The warm lighting is really appealing. What peaks are we looking at in #3?

I think everything about #2 is wonderful! The horizontal crop really works for me here. The warm light makes it perfect.
