Great shot, color, and saturation. I did not get a chance to vote on this one, but I would have given it at least an 8. I also think i would have dropped the border. Still, very nice.
Two words: Stunningly beautiful. Just a perfect capture of an autumn morning out on the calm stillness of a lake. The colors of the leaves are awesome. The reflection of the same just adds to the effect. The sharpness in the detail, all the way from the boat to the trees is perfect. And, I must say, it truly is the boater that makes this picture. Had you taken two pictures, one with and one without, this one would win hands down. GOOD WORK! I hope to see this image at the top of the finishers list.
perfect! right down to the two ripples where there light be a nibble, the reflected bait bucket, the hooded sweatshirt. beautiful attention to detail -
