Sweet, simple view. Absolutely peaceful.

This can't be Texas. I've been there. There are no trees there except cedars. :wink: :smile:

Seriously, this is lovely. The soft light was really in your favor. A minor issue ... that small bright rock or root or whatever right on the shore just right of center ... catches the eye just a bit too much I think.

Definitely a peaceful, serene scene. I would agree with Jim about the small bright rock, but minor stuff. Nicely done.

This is fantastic! Beautiful color and amazing detail. A possible crop of the right would tighten it up and eliminate the bare spot in the upper right. I don't think it's necessary, but the righ background looks like it might be a park or something? Anyway, just a thought.

This is very nice Barry. Wonderful color and reflections, and I agree with a very peaceful feel. I also think a crop of the right might make this even better. This has a feel that I really enjoy. :toast:

The soft light and soft colors make for a tranquil scene. Could see cloning the bright white rock just right of center.

I like this a lot. The warmth of the foliage and the silver-gray tree trunks work well together. That small bright rock near the center grabs my attention, I'd be tempted to get rid of it.

I'm really enjoying this. I agree about the bright rock and I would probably remove it but it's definitely not a deal breaker. Beautiful light, composition, colors.....I like it all. :toast:
