As it should be! Wow, I really like this one a lot. The way the reeds are set in a diagonal combined with the crisp reflection of the clouds is beautiful. Great eye.

Outstanding capture! I really like the light, and the reflected sky and clouds are intense. The angular reeds and their reflection are what take it over the top for me. Can't beat those Florida skies. - John

You have an excellent eye, Paul. The composition is awesome and something that many people would likely pass over in favor of the wider scene. The sky colors are awesome!

Nice looking comp Paul. I have a few of these myself. Simple composition and concentrating on details many times is the way to make an effect compositions.

Just beautiful. I'm envisioning that printed about 3 x 3 feet -- maybe on canvas, but BIG in any case.

thanks guys. Roman, this was at Pine Glades. THe only reason I shot this and silhouette of a baby gator in the color was I have shot that lake so much I wasn't inspired by the grand view anymore. I have the wider view but the rocks were underwater so no strong foreground.

Simply an elegant image, Paul. The "sky in the water" and the position of the reeds is easy on the eye. Beautiful.
