Matt, this image is truly exciting from every aspect! Even the fishing boat in the far background serves to pull the viewer even farther into the image. There is nothing NOT to love about this shot! Magnificent!

Really fine image! Seems like it was all lined up for you. Great timing!
Thank you! I went there knowing the tree and sunset could be lined up, and then when I saw the duck park on the rock, it was just a matter of shifting my position every minute or so to make sure the duck was still lined up with the reflection of the sunset in the water. Once the canoe and kayak started paddling into the frame from the far right hand side, I knew I just had to keep shooting while they were under the arch and hope the duck cooperated for one of those exposures! Thankfully, it did.
Matt, one would be hard pressed to take such a simple element and capture so many little elements and create this beauty of an image! The arching branch in its own is soothing, add the warmth from the sunrise and that gives a nice feeling. Frame in the goose and the fisherman in the canoe and you have a winner

This is a beauty, especially with the bird! Love the arching tree. You can almost feel the roots straining to hold it.
I think you should take more days off and share your photos!
I certainly appreciate your comment. I'm thankful that I work three 12's a week so I have lots of days available to shoot! Thank you!
