Wow, I love that, sunrise reflections over lakes are a big hit with me.

James.

P.S. It looks like you need to clean your sensor. :cry

Hi and welcome to dgrin :wave

Wow! that's a beautiful sunset and reflection, the colours and light are just excellent!

My only criticism is that the horizon and the sun/rocks are too central... I don't know how much you already know but you may find this (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=37&highlight=rule+thirds) helpful

Yes, I agree with herr Gubbsmeister.

It also looks a bit hazy to me. Playing with Curves (or contrast if you don't have Photoshop) could make it pop some more. Same goes for saturation.

:agree I also agree with those above. To add to them, the colors are nice, but can you get them to pop a bit more. Hard to describe what the pop means, but I'm thinking that bringing the blues in the sky and water out more might do the trick. I see the light as your subject here so bringing it out more in the sky and on the water would make it more apparent.

A crop off the right and either some sky or water (whatever one has less pop) would offset it nicely. I like the little rock on the left so I'd keep that (personal preference) though I do like the hill reflections on the right. Tough choice, bit one or the other needs to go.

I do like this shot and really need to get my butt down there for a shoot.

Always just my .02,
Chris
