Beautiful light. Love the gold glow that this image has. Very well composed, nice flow of lines.Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Thank you both! This one puts together several things I've been learning, such as using the light during the "golden hours," putting water into landscape pics, turning away from the sunset/sunrise to see what the light is doing to other objects, using lines and perspective, etc.
It was taken in Raw, so by adjusting the white balance to Shade and doing some other minor tweaking, a good pic became a special one.-Pam :idea: "There is more to life than increasing its speed. -- Mahatma Gandhi"
Very nice image. I like this one alot. Great reflection and color, nice composition as well. I like that the grasses extend above the viewers eye level. Great work.
great photo! i liked reading your reply telling the things you've learned and used. I can only echo the comments made already about the golden color and great lighting and composition.
This is an honor, thank you! I'm in very good company...
From the moment I framed the scene and then checked the pic on the back of the camera, this one felt right.-Pam :idea: "There is more to life than increasing its speed. -- Mahatma Gandhi"

I really like this shot, I think it has merit. Very nice composition and mood, and your exposure is good too.
I would like to add some advice. I think this image looks even better if you flip it horizontally. I went ahead and tried it myself and to me, and my eye, it flows much nicer. Try it out, it is such a simple change in photoshop and see what you think. Im curious to see what others think here too. Just my opinion and thought, it is just fine the way it is, but I think that change might boost it up another notch, what do you think?
