So cool!
I wish she was just a little bit farther from the background so that her shadow would be much lower. 8

Comment by ubique:
Most disappointing finish I've seen by a genuinely high-quality photograph. However, there are three reasons for optimism. First, a few people did recognise its quality. Second, one of them was Ed Clarke (e301), who is almost certainly the best judge and the most insightful commentator on DPC. Third, you know how good it is anyway. Oh, and there's a fourth ... you can go out tomorrow and produce another image just as good as this one.
Edit ... Just found a fifth reason; e301 suspected you could be Robt. Ward & if anyone knows about light, it is he.

Very Impressionistic!

(There's a Beaver Lake near Syracuse, NY (Baldwinsville) but I doubt this is that, given the season.)

Yes! You have pretty light! Something not quite there in the presentation, but I do believe it is there in the photo--you might have to dig it out.

(Edit for miserable spelling._

Everyone will say Monet, I guess. It's a beautiful image for several reasons, but in particular it's a very impressive and instructive study of the effect of light on different surfaces and textures. 8.

Nice mix of colors. Reminds me of an impressionist painting.

Comment by e301:
Enormously subtle, this - and a strong sense of the real. The gentleness of the tonality, and yet the evident care in exposure and processing, makes me wonder if it isn't one from Mr Ward. Excellent compositional balance, and very non-dpc: most I suspect, will struggle tofind a subject, think it lacks sharpness, think the tonal range is too narrow. There's a sense of the Monet Lily-pond in some of the colours in the water.

Comment by RedOak:
You certainy got the theme right. But all colours are dull and the frame work is weak. I wouldve wished for alot more saturation, a better crop and perharps a frame. Having waited for the lights to come on couldve punched it a little also. 4.
