Morning Calm

I spent about an hour at this small pond near Livonia, Pa. I hoped to capture the stillness and serenity of this scene. I shot at f/16, .3 sec. with a circular polarizer.

I think you captured the atomsphere well, has a very mysterious and soothing feel to it with the subdued colors. It's a little hard to tell, but the leaves floating in the FG look like they could be a little crisper - not sure if that's from lack of focus or sharpening?

You definitely captured the mood in this one. Love the dark water and the fog and the brush of sun on the left adds just the right amount of contrast to the scene.

I like this! It's spacey and fresh. I kind of feel like ive had too many beers looking at this, but that's probably appropriate given the subject matter...

I like the overall look and feel of this image. The speck of brightness in the upper left corner bugs me a little.

Thanks for all of the feedback guys! Here is another image from the same shoot. I think I like this version a little more.
