One of my top choices. I love how the sky "connects". Beautiful scenery.

DAng! Now that's some glassy water. Wow! How much fun would this be without the foreground? It would have turned into an AMAZING abstract that would blow your mind once your brain sorted it out as a viewer. Still like it. :-)

The very lushness of the sky in this image is what fills me with awe (the word 'awesome' having become so dilute as to no longer convey real meaning). Then there's a double symmetry to the two seeming daggers of land, with each other and with their own reflections. Lastly, and poignantly, is the foreground with its panorama of delicate foliage. A co-favorite.

For a perfect symmetry I would've cropped the foreground out, it would've been a nice clean image.

I love the clouds reflecting in the water!

Re-observed, re-evaluated and really appreciated. Sweet in many ways -- composition, tonality, textures and subject. That's a good-looking chicken. I did the math and had I given this image a rating more suited to its merit (subjective, as always) it would have advanced one place in the ranking. Sorry about that.
