I saw the title and thought "theres no pond?" But then I saw the ripple.. fantastic little touch that takes the shot to the next level.. 8 and well done.
I was going to say it was too dark at the top, THEN I read the title. Only then did I notice the subtle ripple in the water. Very good. How did you get this shot?
wow, what subtle and enchanting imagery. Composition is awesome, I would have NEVER guessed this was a reflection without the title and the ripple. I would love to see an alternate version of this image with Adv. Editing. Great take on the challenge, good luck.
