Fantastic composition. I like how its divided into 3 areas of trees, water and a gentle S along the pavement. The ripple and the shadow are superb.

Better framing and crop would have made this a great image IMHO. I still like it though.

intriguing, not sure why, but this has more metaphorical punch than I would expect... you know, surfaces and depth, identity, etc.

I like that you've produced something that clearly acknowledges Ben's influence without directly trying to copy him. That has some of Ben's magic, but your own stamp. Nice.
