 Was camping last week, and thought this one happened to fit "round" pretty well. They don't know if it's a natural formation or man-made. It was in a rock along with about 15 others, high over a creek in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Naturally set shots like this don't do well at DPC. It requires a bit of thought and doesn't contain a lot of WOW. I like this and scored it an 8. I would bet money this was "carved" out, unless there was a cliff and an old stream bed right there. Compositionally, this is fine. I might have tried a steeper angle, or moved around to catch different reflections in the water. Splashing the water might have created some fun effects, but I can't think of a way without putting stones into the pond...probably not a good idea. Rob

I would enjoy seeing more information. Like some background or foreground or even something within the pool that would hold my attention.

West nile hazard, lol. You should have cleaned the middle out, I think that would have made the photo better.
