Very nice, but it looks so cold.

I hesitate to say anything but, not enough at the top or the bottom. At the top the trees on the left side doesn't show the top of the trees. I think showing them would open up the photo more. And on the bottom, the bottom part of the lake is cut off. My though is you need the extra room at the top and bottom to open the photo. It looks restrained to me.

I agree.... unfortunately, with the space I had to shoot (a narrow pathway) and the only lens I had (a 50mm equivelent) this is what I could get... I wanted to make sure I got the whole width of the lake. I took 9 shots in portrait mode and after stitching them together, rotating for horizon correction, this is the best I could have......this time. That tree on the left rises up and has a jutting branch pointing to the lake... I really wished I could have gotten that in the finished stitch.....

I plan to go back someday (next year hopefully) and take my wide angle with me so that I can get a more un-restrained shot. While not what I wanted or a perfect shot, I just had to share what little I did get.

Thanks for looking and never hesitate to make a statement, I would rather hear your thoughts and opinions than not hear them.....

Cheers,

Lee
