Taken with my new Nikon 24/70 f2.8 Prime Lens.Spent $1,900.00 on this and WOW! I am so impressed with this thing!! Very poor lighting here as it is so overcast and dreary. I used manual mode on my D300 and shade setting with a -.05 exposure to saturate this shot.I then ran a very slight HDR just to saturate it a bit more. The details were already there so didn't really add anything there. Kinda Ken Rockwell style if I may say. Comments Appreciated

Nicely composed and definitely detailed. I love the golden water. Maybe a tad extra sat, but may be my monitor. You have some really fine equipment, Doug.

Cool shot here...Nicely done of bringing out the detail in the tree...it would have been in shadow!..I love the slight frameing you composed to get this composition

Wish I could get a lens like that! Congrats on the new lens.

This looks a perfect tree to hang a swinging rope off of. Nicely done.

The gold reflected in the water is lovely, and I like the way you framed the distant trees in the "arms" of another tree...
