    While I like this try cropping about a third of the image off the bottom and see you see an improvement.

    I agree with the proposed cropping. This is not to say that this isn't a great photo...I really like the painterly looking reflection.

    Powerful image, I like it. The slow ss resulting in the painterly reflections make the shot. I agree a couple of inches off the bottom would strengthen the image some. Great job.

    Crop a bit off the bottom (like others said) and tone the saturation down. Otherwise, the stumps are cool. Perhaps work on the color balance? thumb.gif

    Well I stopped by my desk for a bit and made some adjustments as suggested above. What do you think. Is it improved, or just a different view. C&C please
