 Again with the rule of thirds? (Sarcasm quite heavy)

This is what rice farmers do if they don't burn their fields - they flood them for the winter. The wildlife love it. (Unfortunately, so do the hunters!)

Wonderful clarity in the reflection, and lovely mistiness in the background.

I like how the reflection is clearer than the area being reflected. The golds are stunning. And what are you hiding for Free Study if you're showing us these marvelous things? The only nit I have is the gold weeds (?) right at the edge of the water appear very fuzzy and smudged - could well be an artifact of resizing for the web presentation. Seriously, though either this one or the other one would make great free study choices.

This reflection is so cool. Almost looks artificial. I also like the earth tones.

Just wonderful. Love the relfection. I like the layers like stripes going across the page. This would be cool in sepia too, to denote an even more aged feel. Great work.
