And thanks for distracting me from work! I could sit and just stare at this and fantasize that it was MY DREAM HOUSE. It isn't perfectly sharp but I like that - it adds to the dreaminess I feel looking at it and I love the open landscape.

Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate it :-)

Nice use of foreground and rule of thirds .. a rarity, these days, it seems

While it does appear to be bright morning light, the exposure values are a little over exposed .. and focus seems to be the far bank and not anything that would be considered 'the subject'

If the camera was Auto-Focus, then that's pretty much where it was aimed .. and you needed to have a higher F-Stop in order to increase depth-of-field

.. is it a FILM scan .. or straight digital?

when I would arrive on a scene .. I would meter the grass, for example, and get an idea of the exposure value for that alone .. then .. the sky, a typical scene, etc .. so that I would have these values in mind for comparison when composing a scene in the viewfinder .. this was with a film camera, where I couldn't see a mini result immediately

other than those issues it is a very nicely composed shot ... (I used to live in colorado)

Good composition, great reflections... so much to see in this pic... very nice work...

Thanks!

This is a very good first post, amazing colors and great reflections, look forward to seeing more of your work. And welcome to Caeades my fellow Missourian.

Thank you egg! I can't find your gallery though. I saw the other website though.

Composition is very nice. The colors seem a little flat though. You can really make this one pop by making adjustments in your software. I played with the levels, contrast, hue and saturation and it really made the photo three dimensional.
