Reflection in a local pond taken before ice and snow arrived.

It's a two-fer! Abstraction and realism all in one very pleasing design. Great color palette, too. I like it. Some may view the bottom part as "pond scum," and therefore not particularly appealing... I wonder, just thinking out loud, if doing a local sharpening in that area would create a different enough look to add to the overall artistic look/feel of the image... Or maybe play with moving pixels around... Just the muse playing with my thought about your images. For me, I like it the way it is, too.

Sweet shot Jim. I really like a square crop with the bottom cut off too.

I, on the other hand, like a square crop with the top cut off! I also like a crop with the top 10% cut off, just getting rid of part of the ULC. Cool image!
