Thank you for all of the comments and suggestions on my last post. This image was taken last Sunday in the exact same location. It's earlier in the year than the 2009 image. There was some duckweed on the water, but the green foliage really hasn't come in, thus the water reflects the early morning blue sky, rather than the emerald green. I'm not sure which reflection I prefer, although I think the tones in the background make the image simpler overall. C&C appreciated as always. Large image also posted.

Looks like winter hasn't given in yet,,,,hopefully it won't be long. This is nice but I prefer the rich greens of the previous post.

Thanks for your feedback David. It's been a long winter up here, but the end is near.

I agree with David, this is a nice shot, but the extra greens really make the previous post better.
