    Not much wrong with this one Jon, have you thought about just cropping that leave at the foot out?

    Steve, yes indeed, I have already removed a sliver, I looked with all removed but then I felt it looked as if I was trying to squeeze the reflection in because there was insufficient apace, I think it looks ok.

    Works for me, Jon. The image is worth laying prone at the waters edge. Nice detail and colors. Thank you for sharing.

    Nice detail and sharpness. I could see it a little higher in the frame for the reflection.
