Fabulous foreground with super reflective clouds draw your eye into this great verticle composition Marty. Love the old hickory's and the fact that your thoughtful image illustrates why we need to preserve public lands for our future generations to enjoy. I'm so glad we have your wonderful images to enhance their beauty! #1294071

Beautiful reflected blues and great dof...the framing is just wonderful, Marty - the clouds and tree branches in the upper, the lily pads, water plant and more clouds in the lower - and everything in between so pleasing and restful to the eyes. My kind of spot. #8801362

Marty- WOW my friend, this is just gorgeous. Love the framing, the composition, and the depth the picture has. This looks like the kind of place to pitch a tent for a few days, do some fishing, hiking, and photo work. If this is any indication, I know there are many wonderful photo ops just a waiting. Gorgeous colors, love the post card perfect clarity, and so special are those reflections. A gorgeous work of beauty my friend.
Have a great day, enjoy, take care. #8801883

Thanks so much, everyone. It was a very steep bank we had to crawl down to get to this spot, but there are so many places within this park to camp and enjoy. If you're ever going there, please let me know. #8803465
