    That's very nice. Straighten it slightly before printing it and hanging it on the wall.

    Re: Plant Reflections

    I like it, but maybe there's just a bit too much fuzzy distraction on the right side that could be cropped.

    Roger,

    I like the second one, it seems to flow into softness alot easier! Great concept, and a lovely execution of it. I love the colors, and the reflection is awesome!

    Great job,

    Jared

    Another vote for the second one. The stuff on the right was a lil distracting. Now if you could just tell me how to stop the wind blowing!! Its always windy/breezy here .

    Okay I was going to say 1/600th but this was taken at 1/60th and the wind is blowing a good F4-F5 today. It was also spitting with rain and somehow none of the rain drops landed in the puddle causing ripples during the 6 shots I took. It poured down about 10seconds after I got inside so 30 secs after last shot.

    Now I'd like to say that was managing the weather but just sheer luck!!

    Thanks for the critique I wasn't sure about these at all and I'm still not sure whether I like the stuff on the right as it adds a lttle bit of a frame to it or without. So anymore votes?

    Re: Plant Reflections

    I love the reflections, but I find the folliage above and below distracting. A little more blur would be fantastic!

    Re: Plant Reflections

    This is interesting to me mainly because it has a unique perspective and I was not sure what I was looking at at first.

    It's not something that I wanted to hang on my wall though, but then, most photos aren't that good.
