I love reflections and would also like to get a close up of those Aspens. With reflections such as this, the center weighted comp works well. I like it.For a different look and one that keeps the eye from bouncing back and forth, have you tried applying a horizontal motion blur of about 10 pixels to the water area? #1530370

I already see motion in the water so am curious to see what Dale's suggestion would do for the shot. #10716165

Very nice-I like how you make these barren trees seem beautiful against the sparse bits of green next to them. Love the reflection. #10716684Jeff E Jensen May 31, 2013

These are both great!! I cannot wait to see this in person! #10717961Susan Williams June 01, 2013
I love the composition, reflections and colors in these images, Jeff. The reflections are strong with more contrast so I see Dale's point about a 10-pixel blur to curb the urge to compare the top and bottom and miss the spectacular whole of it. Very well-done, Jeff. #10718165lisa anderson June 02, 2013
Beautiful shots, Jeff. Sometimes I flip reflection shots upside down for fun. Might work in the 2nd shot. #10719881Susan Williams June 02, 2013
You could also crop the vertical version, either half or each half, with or without the green, and have beautiful abstracts. #10719978Kristin Duff June 03, 2013
nicely done Jeff! #10720422Arthur Bohlmann June 29, 2013
