Reeds and reflections. The details in the larger version are much better.

Hi Winnie,

Your choice of composition really got my attention here -- it is very attractive in an unusual manner, which is a good thing in my book. The light is very nice too.

Hi Winnie, I agree with Anil - a very unusal composition that directs the viewer to a beautiful and interesting detail of the landscape. The reflection creates and interesting pattern and the reeds complement nicely.

I'll admit I had to look twice to actually see it, but this is a very original and exceptional reflection! Love the combination of detail and colour in the larger version!

I really like the contrasts here Winnie - the smooth flowing foreground and the sharp reeds, the darks and lights. I also like the original composition. Beautiful work.

Cool! A pretty combo here. One minor suggestion--i find the top half to be the interesting half (although the reflection is nice too) so the balance feels slightly off with more bottom than top--so id crop just a bit off the bottom for a 50/50 split (half reeds half water)

A very nice image, Winnie. The image has an interesting contrast not only between the static reeds and the reflection, but also with the clarity in the focus split between the two.

I'm trying to remember a reflection so purple... I can't.
Strong image love or hate it it's a strong photo.

Wow, this is really nice. I like Stan's suggestion about a small crop from the bottom but otherwise enjoy this quite a bit.

This is wonderful, Winnie. Unusual in such a nice way. Really nice light and color, great reflection too. You have a good eye to come up with this. The detail in the large version is so nice. I agree with a small crop off the bottom. Beautiful Image!
