Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. On a cold morning, with mist on the river, fog lifting, sun and clouds in the sky, it's the start of a beautiful day. Enjoy! Critique welcomed.
Great old pier with the ropes still in place in the river. I really adore the clouds in the sky that appear to be racing along with the river...good going Thad!
Hello Thad...You certainly have captured early morning stillness in this very nice photograph....I am interested to know what the poles in the water are used for....Well done....All the best to you Thad......................Mick.
Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

Just an all-around gorgeous photo, Thad. The soft, early morning light and the mist rising off the still water create a nice sense of peace and quiet before the world wakes up. I like the old pilings poking out of the water, as well.
Got this in the VB, loved it, had to come by and say so. The smoothness of the image is great, a lovely tranquil quality going on. The off centred pole helps to break the squareness of having the horizon line at the midpoint and that pole has great power in the overall image. The angle/lines of the clouds in sky and reflection also balance that central horizon line and give an amazing feeling of zooming "into" the image as you look at it. A great example of how a basic rule (In this case horizon lines and the rule of thirds.) can be transcended completely. Sweet work Thad. Faved.
excellent shot the right time of day gives you a feeling of tranquillity i love the reflections also i work with oils and reflections are the other half of the image well done keep it comming
