Nikon D300, Sigma 150mm. F/10, 1/50sec, ISO 200.
The golden glow of the grasses and their reflections on the water, reflects nature's beauty. Comments appreciated.

Great shot Albert. I like the diagonal formed by the edge of the reeds.

Albert: I love it when someone takes a pretty common scene and makes a compelling image. This is such an instance. I like that the water surface isn't mirror smooth. To make the reflected area perfect I would clone out the D shaped reed on the bottom edge just left of center or crop to just above it. The advantage of the crop is that it would move the line of separation of the reeds from the reflections off center. Well seen and superbly captured.>=))>

Nice composition Albert and once again I really like the reflections and in this case the ripples. Beautiful presentation and image.

Great eye, Albert. I also like that the water is not mirror smooth. Bill has a good suggestion.

Very nice light, color, and comp. I really like the painterly quality of the reflections.

Lovely image, Albert ! Your perspective is superb - it seems somehow to invite the eye to make an exploration of the scene even beyond the frame.

There is a lot of good stuff here, the linear nature of the grasses, the soft reflections in the water.

This must be the one you were referring to when you commented on my shot Albert. Love the water here, those ripples give it a look almost like aluminum foil. Very cool!
