Definitely a postcard worthy capture, Gerald! I would love to see this without the added grain though...while it does add an interesting element to the scene, I personally think it would look better if the picture showed more clarity. ; )

I agree about the grain. Of course, it may just be a side-effect of scaling the picture down for this site. I've had a few shots that look great at 300DPI but look then degrade when scaled to a 750x500 pixel image.
One thing I did notice is that the color of the lake seems a bit unnatural, kind of like it was painted on. Lovely shot, otherwise. #2060611

The grain is not as visible as it is in this scaled down photo. Stan--the water color was the color as depicted in the picture. I did not have to fool around with the color. Thanks for your critiques. #2064464
