Reflections - Nature's Double Take

Comment by mamba:
Love the light emanating from behind the trees and the little oasis of colour in the trees. It's a good shot, but I think that it suffered because of the topic of the challenge, but as a picture in itself I really like it.

Really nice picture - I would struggle to see it as a double take, I think if you wanted that the water would have to be like a mirror and show every detail of the trees in great clarity.

But still a really nice shot anyway : )

well, there's the picture and then there's the challenge. I like the picture alright. The odd green light and the faded backlighting give this a sense of mystery.

But to try to rope in lake reflections into double take is a scarifying idea. Imagine if other people decided to do this. The challenge would fill up with yawnworthy landscape shots. Yikes.

I would like to see more of him. Maybe his face, or at least his profile...

Good angle. Try some more contrast.

I'm sorry, but I don't consider reflections to be two different subjects. That said, this shot is a little dark on my monitor, and I don't really understand the purpose of the green bit. With that desaturated, the curves would be nice, though.

Imposing image. Great drama in the top half. I'd be tempted to crop out everything from the railing down.

It's not breathtaking but it does hold my interest. I like how you don't show enough of the foreground to show how it is connected to the larger structure. I like the doubling of the sky on the bottom (too bad it's so much cloudier in the reflection), and I like the supersaturated blues.

Nice use of a mobile light to illuminate the foreground, but the subject as a whole lacks dramatic interest for me.
