It's a beautiful understated image with the fine mist, from what must be your favourite vantage point.

Hi Gary

Yes, it is one of my favourite spots to visit early on mornings during the winter months. :)

Thanks for the comment!

Cheers

Hi Phil,

For shots like these, I always feel that the whole composition stands on the fact that whether the water is still... so that the reflections are *well* formed. Which, in this case, is there.

The additional thing that my mind always looks for (and I know that it's a cliche) in this kind of composition is a bit of use of the thirds ... which is not there in this one. I understand that you want it to be a centralised composition, and I, for one, am always up for breaking rules, unless it causes a real distraction !!! :)

The only thing I would do differently for sure is that I would have converted this to a mono, maybe with a tone. The reason I say this is because you have something extra in this shot - those layers of trees in different levels of illumination, caused by the fog and the early sunlight. I feel THAT aspect really comes out well in mono, especially if you care to *pump* it up a little using dodge/burn.

I do not believe in UF ratings anymore, but if you ask me to do a sincere rating of this, I would give it a 5/7.

Good, but can be better.

cheers,
Avi

Very nice, Phil. Great exposure and reflections. Love the soft mist on the water.:)
