    Nice exposure for bright light! The reflection is really sweet!
    I could be wrong but I feel it is tilted to the right....the black dot towards the center in the sky can be taken out....
    I also feel that if an inch is taken from top it might improve.....
    Just some of my thoughts....Cheers!

    Taz, as always your thoughts are valued. Have to say I saw the dot in the center sky after it was posted and just didn't have the energy to fix it at the time. I'm pretty sure it is a very distant bird. This is actually an HDR eek7.gif! The fall colors are just not popping here as of yet so I might revisit this sight in the next few days and take a another shot here. Regards! bowdown.gif

    Your HDR are hard to diagnose as HDR.....a powerful tool to have in your back pocket!

    Great Capture thumb.gifthumb. I agree with Taz regarding cropping the top a bit. If there were some interesting clouds I would say save the sky, but here a crop at the top would put the focus more on the foliage.

    I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway.

    Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity!

    Phil, I agree with cropping the sky. Thanks for the kind review. I'm going to this sight again in a day or so and see if the colors are a little brighter. Regards!

    Crop, spot removal and alignment changed as suggested. Thanks Taz, Phil for input. bowdown.gif
    Alignment was made based on distant shore line at center (vanishing point) as the left and right shoreline are not equidistant from the camera.

    Great reflection, Wayne. The crispness and color juxtaposed by the calmness just grabs your eye and demands attention. thumb.gif

    Joel, your kind comments mean a great deal. wings.gif
    I was a little disappointed that the leaf colors didn't seem to "pop" (no real red to speak of) so I'm going back there today and see what a repeat shot might look like. Regards!
