Very lucky for you. Pretty scene, just down the street. Looks like a fair sized lake. The fog/mist is cool. Regards Ron.

for this one, Sheila, i feel the sky could be all the way cropped to the mountain.. it's such a beautiful scene, especially the fog and the reflections.. what a great backyard you have! Regards, Sheila

A well composed shot Sheila...a little bit of everything great...water, mountains, trees, and sky! Lucky you to be close to such beauty!
Take care...Robin

Seems almost primordial with the mists . . . certainly a scenic spot. To my eye there seems to be a slight tilt to the horizon line . . . I'd have likely brought the right side up a tad. I love the composition . . . layer after layer after layer and would certainly NOT crop the sky down as Sheila Floyd mentioned . . .

Very lovely!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks Doyle! I really like the sky too. I think I will leave it in.

As for the horizon, I was back and forth with changing it or not because I took this shot close to the shore on the right and, from that spot, the shore slants up and out so the photo is how it looks from that vantage point (am I making any sense?). Also, the dock in the foreground looked straight to me so I thought if I adjusted the photo that the dock would look crooked and that it would look worse. What do you think?


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 9/27/2006
:)

I would level the horizon, Sheila. The dock will look fine anyway. Attached is the line I would use . . . an example of a minor 1 degree tilt . . . and your picture still looks great! This much detail in a picture may make these minor points beyond notice to most people. Key word = most.

I've been in Washington state a couple of times. It's beautiful. You sure are proving that with your work.

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
