Thanks Michelle
I made one boo-boo. Actually this is made with a point and shoot camera,not my SLR. If I had used the SLR, the sky would be polarized,but fortunately early in morning, the rich colors seem to work fine with p&s cameras. The sky color is the actual sky color, and because I did not use a polarizer, I got a stronger, more natural reflection on the pond.On carside shots, I usually don't want to spend too much time making a shot...I still have a destination to get too!

This is a beautiful capture, Mark! Goes to show you that it's not the gear but the photographer that makes great images! How interesting to read about your experience with a polarizer and reflections - I always shoot with a polarizer - among other things, I thought that the lack of glare promoted better reflections! Congratulations and good luck in the next round! #8487556
