Thanks for posting a larger version here, John. This really sings!
Excellent light and colors accentuated well with your 'development'.
For some reason, I quite like the ripples in the water, too.
As a nitpick, you might consider cloning out the bright spots near the right edge above the foliage.
What kind of foliage are we looking at here?

This is really cool John. The colors are awesome, and I like the dark shadows surrounding the color and reflection. I like this alot! Nice work capturing this look.

Very nice composition John. The dark background and corresponding reflection creates a nice vignette effect. The highlights of the ripples in the middle of the water is also a nice addition to add some interest to the lower middle of the frame.

Beautiful, John. The light sets off your composition to perfection.

Appreciate all your comments. This are Redbud trees at a nearby lake. This year's flowers are much better than previous years for some reason.

Gorgeous, John. The colors with the reflection, the lighting and isolating dark foliage around them make this image really draw you in. Excellent work!

Great to see this!
Lovely colours and comp - a very serene and compelling image.
I'd personally like a little more room (black) on top and bottom.

Gorgeous color and mood. I do agree with Sandy concerning more room top & bottom.

John, the static composition with just a slight move in the water is outstanding! Great work, I enjoy it.

Wow, nice capture. The colors are outstanding. Comp wise I think I'd prefer a little more room at the top, but still--well done.

Stunning, John. The colors are luscious and I love the how the foliage in the middle slightly breaks up the reflection.
