Annabella,

I hope you don't mind, but I was a little distracted by the right side of the image. I took an 8x10 portrait crop from the middle, and now I could look at it for hours. (Just IMHO.)

Thanks,

Hi Annabella,
This is the first time I have posted anything in the forum, I guess that makes you the lucky or unlucky one:D Your image is fantastic. The composition was much improved with the cropping. The left side was distracting the eye away from the beauty that makes this image a show stopper. The soft colors in this image convey a wonderful warmth. I agree with you, now that you have cropped the image I too could look at it for hours. Beautiful work.So sorry I am new to this forum, I didn't realize Ziggy cropped the image. I have to say I agree with Ziggy's editing, I also must say it took an amazing eye to capture the beauty to begin with

good stuff
very well spotted- i love distorted reflections-i agree however with ziggies crop-for reflections i tend to use telephoto to crop out most extraneous detail so that the image becomes more abstract

i hope you spot some more-keep up the good work

Yes I had another shot that was closer, cutting out the light pole and was struggling with which one to post... I was leaning toward the one like your crop but thought there wasn't enough to be interesting. Thanks I like your version better.

I shot a lot of reflections that afternoon, I found them fasinating! I agree that the closer shot looks much better...stay tuned I'll post one more from that day..thanks gtc.
