O sun and skies and clouds of June, And flowers of June together, Ye cannot rival for one hour, October's bright blue weather; ~Helen Hunt Jackson

Beautiful place filled with brilliant color. The reflections are wonderful and the scene is very October. Love the poem.

Composition-wise, I like the way the two bodies of water are divided by the sandbar in the middle of the take. It creates an interesting focal point that underscores the reflection of the sky and bolsters your theme. I love October skies. And I'm so glad you included the poem, because I am wont to quote that last part, your title, but I had long forgotten where it came from. I was just viewing it again, and I also wanted to comment that the sandbar also gives this an extra punch as far as the depth of field goes, because it creates an extra "frame" so we have three separate and distinct areas for our eyes to explore. In the foreground the delicate greens still hanging on paint a pretty compliment on the first area of water while in the back the water is again framed on three sides with the trees to the left and right on the sandbar and the greens and touches of fall colors for the background frame. Of course the star of this show is the bright blue sky and everything else is lifted off the page by its performance. This is a very lovely scene. :)PJ

What a stunning composition, Terry! One of your best yet. The colours of the water and sky, and rich tapestry of herbiage, in combination with the zigzag of water margins makes for a marvellous image. I especially like the way the vegetation on the sandbar draws back a little, like stage curtains, to reveal the farther shore. Great work!

Breathtaking view! The crispness is amazing and colors absolutely stunning. Composition is superb. I could look at that all day... hrmm, I think I shall, as desktop wallpaper! Into my faves too :)

Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. ~Margery Williams The Velveteen Rabbit~

Terry, this is a super comp with great color and contrast. Excellent reflections. The poem is so fitting. I saw skies like this recently. Nothing like October colors in the right year, eh? Weather has been beautiful which makes those reds and yellows just pop out. anne :-)
