Hi Jude,
Very nice and simple. The sun also adds a little to the overall presentation. Nice choice of tree and very well composed. originally i was going to suggest to pump up the saturation a bit........but the softness grew on me! Well done!
Excellent. now all you need for a second showing is a gator, heron, or both, swimming and flying or perching. the possibilities are endless. I really like the calm clean effect here.
It has all been said.. a great photo! Alternatively I would have liked to see this with the sun more prominent in the frame, by using a telephoto lens.
