On the trail to Wolf Lake in the Adirondacks. This large pond appeared to have been created by a beaver dam.

Raw file processed in LRClassicCC. TK resize/sharpening for web.

Seeking any and all advice and comments. Thanks in advance.

There is a nice graphic quality to this composition. This may also look good in b&w which may make the design stand out better by removing the color. Or it may not. Nice image.

This is real eye candy, Ronald. I love those bare trees, the reflection and the vegetation in the water. Nice exposure and comp make for a pleasant scene.

This is very nice Ronald. It’s quiet, thoughtful and graphic.  I could see a crop to just inside the curved tree to even the light on the background conifers.

This is a nice image. I would like to see the reflection high lighted more.

Very well done. I could see this presented as a B&W and work beautifully, but it would be a whole different mood and feel. Not necessarily better, but different. I am with Gary on a slight crop off the right.

Ver nice, Ronald. I like "swamp" shots and this has an immediate impact...very cool.

I love the stylistic presentation very much. The bare trees extending all the way to the top of the frame provide a strong vertical element that nicely counterbalances the horizontals in the lower half. I love the stark colors and contrast too. 

Very nicely done Ronald.
