Reflection of trees in our pond. I used CEP Solarize and then Colorize.
I took the theme literally, as is my wont.
As I look at it now, I'm thinking a crop off the right might be in order.

Hi, Anita, I like the strong reflection with the color. I'm not sure I'd crop from the right but I would crop just a sliver from the left to eliminate that vertical thin tree trunk near the edge.

The contrast and detail are wonderful. I like the color, too. There's a nice flow to the branches, as well. It's really stunning.

If you were wondering about cropping from the right because of composition, I don't think that's necessary. The composition looks just fine to me. I wouldn't crop from the left, either. In my opinion, that trunk near the edge serves as a block to keep the eye in the image when they follow the sweep of the branches to the left.

I love the colours and the silhouette Anita. I think Cheryl nailed it with a crop from the left as the RHS is more visually appealing IMHO.

I think I'll join those in voting for a bit of a crop from the left. Love the strong black tree trunks and the blues! Beautiful image.

very nice view, I bet you always have something to look at on your pond. This is very special and feels intimate regarding the trees.
