Beautiful and peaceful reflection! I like how you were able to leave a bit of the tree refelction in to balance the image as well as to give the eye a way to follow around the frame. Nice job! #7768289

The early light and still water has produced a fine mirror image Gary.
Haven't seen such a clear reflection in a long, long time :)
Well done! #7792332
