This is beautiful. I've tried shots like this on various occasions mainly because I like night light reflections in water. Photomatix seems to have worked very well for this scene. I think perhaps the subtle atmospheric light and/or the probable longer exposure might have been the reason. I've had questionable results with Photomatix when shooting bracketed sunset shots. However, I think your image is exceptional in DOF and color. Very nicely done. I would be interested to know what time it was taken (ie: twilight) and what your exposure time was.

Very nice. To me it looks like the buildings in the background could be sharper, they appear out of focus to me. Nice setting though, and I really like Epcot too!

That's cool--you picked up the rays of light from the center building.

Damn it, am thinking of selling my 65mm as I cannot get a decent focus even at 1:1, this is a stellar shot sir!

WOW that is also close and I like the balance of the tiny insect against the dark background. Good use of the rule of thirds here.....

WOW that is close, and I thought it was either straw or brushes up close, and not hair like you say. Excellent macro.....

Unusual and very interesting colors and textures. I would like to see a tighter crop maybe to take out some of the background.

Great macro. Love the colours on this fake snow. I would have used a different bg.

Not ice. Its this fake snow stuff with some food coloring in it, makes for really good geometric shapes and textures.
