p.1 #1 · #52 Calm Reflection

I've never posted a photo here before, so I hope this works. I'm honestly a bit nervous, as I've never really shared my photos before. Took this early morning on 14 Mile Island, Lake George, NY.

I think it's beautiful. Makes me wanna buy a canoe... or at least borrow one. I can't decide if I would prefer it rotated slightly to the left to straighten the dock or rotated to the right to exaggerate the angle or just left alone. Nice capture, nonetheless.

Thank you for the kind words excel.

Hello, Pill!
And, welcome to your first posting to our MA. Personally, I wouldn't change a thing. IMHO, it's absolutely wonderful. Serene, calm, quiet, and simply lovely. It's a super capture, and you should be very proud to post it.

I like the crop, and colors...your perspective is interesting. The reflection of the trees in the water without actually showing the trees is something I really like.....and I love the stillness of the water. Great sharpness of detail on the rope....I can't find a single thing to critique.

Beautiful!

Thanks Philly! The lake is quite inspiring so early in the morning. There is such magic in its stillness. Really glad you liked it. E.

Beautiful shot blackpill. It really shows those who cannot or will not get up early what they are missing during the early morn.

Cheers

I really like this shot...the calmness and texture. I think, I would have liked a little more room on top...but, that's just me. Nice job.

Thanks edge. I would have liked some more room on top too actually, but unfortunately, the mainland was right there so it didn't quite work for me.

Thanks Bill. Those that cannot or will not get up early should make or borrow a baby - I know an 8 month old who is available early mornings...

It has become my favorite part of the day though.

Very nice shot! Good mood.
I'd like a bit more space on top right above the posts on the end, but I understand that wasn't possible for you.
Keep posting!!
