Very nice warmth, the dof, and the front focus. Very nicely done.

When a master of your caliber shows a shot like this without exposure and hardward details and I as a grasshopper view it, I feel cheated out of a chance to learn though I am still humbled by your skill.

Edited to add: I love how you captured the light in the flora in such detail and left us to wonder about the beauty beyond.

Nordlys, What caught my eye in the first place was the juxtaposition of the filigreed, shadowed trees upon the mirror-like water, and the much greater warmth further out. I'll stick with the trees.

Madman, they're NOT reflections. They're bare, autumn trees in shadow, silhouetted against the water.

Nice colors.

I actually like the reflections of the trees, they don't really look like reflections somehow.

I appreciate the kind words, but personally I don't think this image is all that great. It lacks a little something, especially in the background. I'm, happy with where it placed, I expected at BEST a top 20 and realistically hoped for top 30, which is what I got. There were a LOT of really nice images in this challenge.

I agree - this should have done way better! A perfect shot imo!

This is my favorite of the three you posted. How would you feel about cropping out the bottom 1/4 or so? :-)

Mushrooms. You have nice color. Shadows are lost somewhat with the dark background.
