    Default Sugar Maple Reflections

    Here is one of sugar maples reflecting in the waters of Horseshoe Lake near Parry Sound, Ontario. Shot early one morning in October from the cottage dock.

    Andrew, I love the colors and the lines. I might crop a little off the bottom if it were mine but I do like this a lot.

    Wow! All of that beautiful color from a tree reflection. I really need to make a trip to see fall colors one of these days. Nothing like that around here. Lovely capture!

    A good start and I agree with the crop suggested by Denise. What bugs me is that the most prominent red tree is in the center.... Wonderful colors and textures.

    Andrew, I love the colors, especially the bright lines. A tad off the bottom would be nice too.

    Hi Andrew, agree with comments above.Between the colors and the reflections it makes for a pleasing image

    I agree with the others...in fact another version might be to cut it in half and go with the top portion as a pano crop. Both versions would convey a very nice feeling.

    Very nice. I'd use it as a texture.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. Very much appreciated. I will crop a bit off the bottom and will see what it looks like if I desaturate the brightest maple in the center a little too.
