Sebastian,
Upon first sight, I did not know what I was looking at . I thought it might have been three different images merged into a composition. Then when I saw that it was ice on calm water that is reflecting a tree and has a ripple at the bottom, it made sense to me. I like it. It's clever and is appealing to see the differences betwwen the smooth ice, the still water and reflection , and the rippled water.

i agree with Gary - very appealing! i can imagine that your foot was providing the ripples :) what is the source of red in the ripples? editing, or something nearby?
-
Thanks guys.
The ripples are actually the edge of the top of a waterfall. The red color comes from the cement, it has a reddish tinge to it. The shiny specs are pennies. :) This was taken from almost straight above, I was standing on a bridge.

I really like this composition a lot. I do wonder what it would look like with a bit more water ripple coming out from the bottom (but that probably wasn't possible). Either way you captured a cool "landscape moment" (for lack of a better phrase) at a time of year when that's not easy to do. Good eye!

Great composition, this is a good example of seeing a photograph in everyday life.
Technically, it's a little soft and flat, but that's probably just because it's a Canon (haha, joke, etc). Good to see you're doing well with the new gear.

Steve,
Does it really look soft? The file is razor sharp, I sed VERY little USM, less than my usual amount. This camera really is considerably sharper than the D100 at all equal ISOs, I have been pleasantly surprised.
Hey, DSL and I had lunch on Saturday, when's the next time YOU will be in the area?? :D

No, no - you took me seriously?? It's sharp. Just had to hassle you. The only shots of yours I've seen are here or your website (as in small jpegs on a monitor). I have seen some nice prints taken with a D100 but I don't know how much PS work was done to them. Yeah - we'll have to get together - 3/20 or 3/27 should be OK.

Steve,
I just wanted to double-check. It looks sharp to me, but it's real low contrast and the ahrpening was so subtle, I wasn't sure myself.
The D100 can deliver amazing detail from RAW files, but the 10D surpasses it in both JPEG and RAW, although by a very slight margin. I find I have to do a lot less sharpening on the full-size 10D JPEGS than I did with the D100 RAWs.
I'll email you, we'll start talking about getting together.

Yes - it really looks good!! No problems at all with it, more sharpening/contrast and it will start looking manipulated. Leave it as is, it's great. Now make some big prints and have a look!
How do you usually sharpen - in the camera at all or completely in Photoshop?

Thanks Steve.
THe camera is totally at default, sharpening, contrast, everything. I am going to drop contrast just to help increase dynamic range, but other than that I think I'm going to leave it alone. I see no visible sharpening artifacts out of the camera at default settings, it is just RAZOR sharp. Reducing sharpening might lower noise, so I might give it a try if I get the chance.
Print? Good idea... :D
