I took this in Shreveport on the Shreveport GTG. This shot was taken on Barksdale Air Force Base. I had a great time on this GTG and I hope to go on some more in the future.

This is a really good shot. My only nitpick would be to have the entire reflection of the trees in the shot but that would barely effect my scorin of this shot if I were voting on it in a challenge. I really love the subtle and realistic colors, some would up the saturation and IMHO ruin this shot(that includes me a lot of the time BTW) but I think what you did with it was perfect.
Wonderful reflection shot, nice to have the sun in there also. If you live nearby, woudl be cool to see this also as a night shot with the moon as a comparison.
Lovely shot. Is there a reason the reflection of the trees' tips were cut off? I would have liked to see the full reflection. The silouette's edges are not tack-sharp, probably because of the very high f-stop used. It is my understanding (I'm no expert) that photo's do get "softer" and one does not gain much DOF with a normal lens with an f-stop of more than 16. However, I do think that the softness works in this photo. As one's eye is immediately drawn to the sun, I didn't like the thick tree trunk running right over the picture, but I do realise you could probably not have done anything about it. (don't you always have an extra explosive device in your back-pocket? he he). Overall the photo relaxes me, and my mind gets all fuzzy and drifts off into nothingness... so it's a very successful picture.
