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?
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??
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.
