Even early morning light can be difficult to deal with sometimes - struggled to keep the whites under control.
Cropped and Sharpened.

Comments welcome :)

Beautiful colors in the blurred BG, Lance. I like the reflection and the ripples. A very peaceful scene.

Hi Lance,beautiful light with the water ripples and backround colored reflection adding to the image. The crop strengthens the center of interest. Nicely handled!

Lance,

Greetings. What great color! Nice diagonal composition. Analysis of channels shows much of the whites blown in red losing some detail. Might be recoverable in raw conversion (given the headroom with the D3s) As an aside, do you use NX2?. I like the look of the water with the dof.

Cheers,

-Michael-

I Agree, beautiful colors and such a peaceful scene, I like the pose, BG and ripples in the water.
