Well, now how did I get down here? Somebody must have booted me out of the macro forum!
I was trying out the new 400mm lens on some local ducks the other night and right before I lost the light I came up with this reflection of a stump floating on the lake surface. Yes, I shouldn't have necessarily been at f6.3 but I'm still getting used to the new lens (that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!) Next time, definitely will stop down more but the reflection here was just so darn beautiful I had to try to make something of it.
How's the comp? I did cut a bit off the left side and a little off the bottom; if I need to add any back in, let me know...
Canon 40D, EF 400mm f/5.6L
f6.3 @ 1/100th, ISO 400
Manual mode, pattern metering, handheld (Whew! Is that a workout!)
Processed in ACR & CS4; small levels and contrast adjustments and small crop. Cloned out some debris/spots on the lake surface.
