This was taken at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation area. I found this Pond the evening before while exploring the area and worked out to be great sunrise shoot. Shot this with my MF Pentax camera and Velvia always did great job of capturing blues.

Excellent image taking full advantage of the blue sky to create a great reflection. I would clone out whatever is in the water near the LLC. This image is a great combination of the themes for the last 2 weeks (still & blue).

Very very nice.I like the single blade of "grass" sticking up at bottom left. And just the right amount of sky left in the image.

Beautiful, Eric, the blue in the water is stunning, especially against the warm tones in the grasses and dunes, well done

The light and golden highlights are extraordinary Eric. I really love the blue and gold combo here.

Eric: Really gotta love Velvia and this shot. Marvelous color contrast with the blue and gold and the overall combination of elements is just fantastic. Congrats on a well deserved EP. >=))>

I like the contrast between the cool blue water and the warm sand & grasses. Beautiful composition as well. Congrats on the EP!
