5 image HDR from +2 to -2 exposure. I will hopefully be moved and living up near the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Auburn, CA. So I am going to have to find new places to shoot!
The water was just that smooth. :)
Lots of color and selective tone adjustments made to get here, mostly correcting what I didn't like about Photomatix software, i just haven't got the knack for controlling color tones. If anyone has any tips please let me know. :)
If you ever have a chance to drive Route 160 from Sacramento to the Bay Area, you should do it. It follows the River for about 60 miles, i have only done 30 miles of it, but its amazing how quiet it can get right outside the city.

The grassy bank in the corner is a tad distracting, and the river not showing signs of movement and being lighter in color than the sky is a bit surreal. I love the mill though, the reflections are wonderful.
The main building seems just a touch too centered (left to right) I think. Maybe if there were more "space" at the left, the leading lines you have would be even more effective.
