Wonderful mirrored image. I like how the branch/trunk is isolated from the rest with your use of the tones.

Gary,
Wow, this would be awesome in B&W! Oh wait, it is.  Beautiful example of contrasts and how a random, chaotic arrangement of branches can become a single cohesive element. I like that there is enough contrast and detail in the water to enhance this scene. Love this!

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Gary, This is so cool and I love how you captured it. I can see that you probably had to work at a comp that would work and you certainly did that. Wonderful light and dark contrast making this work so well. This looks great!

Love the stark graphic of the lighter toned tree against the darker toned water, Gary. I also like the fact that you kept separation between the two sections and did not let them merge. Great eye to spot this. As usual your B&W processing is spotless.
