Sunset, quarter moon paddle late into the night. Loon's calling in the distance and a zillion stars overhead... somewhere on an isolated Northern Michigan string of lakes.

Thank you for stopping by.

Nice Jim, this is very peaceful and relaxing. I like the sky colors too.

Well done! I have spent many days on some of these lakes, can't wait until our vacation this year! Maybe we'll see you up there

I took this pic while on vacation. I'm back in the work grind now. Wish I could spend more time up there. Thanks for the reply ej.

Similar idea, but a different take on it than my own entry, and a good one too, very nice! My only tiny little nit, and I know it would be very hard at the time and impossible now to correct, but if only his head was fully silhouetted against the colourful reflection and didn't merge into the black shoreline...

Good luck,
David

A peaceful looking image, but I agree with Dajavu about the head.

Thanks for the replies Dave and Pete. I realized the silhouette was a problem when I shot this but I ran out of smooth water and good light. If I had not been taking this photo from a kayak I would have just shot from a higher angle and that would have solved the missing head. Thanks again for the suggestion.
