    Re: Stinky Sewer

    the title is too funny. i was expecting something a bit stinkier.

    I wish the tree had a bit more detail since it acts as the main subject due to a lack of any other subjects.

    I have to agree with Leels, Brightening up the detail and texture of the FG tree would help define the subject here.
    Very still water makes for a near perfect reflection.
    Kudos for enduring this "sewer". Nice image.

    Re: Stinky Sewer

    I called it stinky sewer because that place smelled awful. I didn't notice that all the run off and rain stayed there until it evaporated.

    I liked the picture after I took it but it looked so... bland. that's why I posted it up. I will try to brighten up the tree for some more detail and see how that looks.

    Thanks!

    Hmm. Interesting reflection. This one is almost a complete mirror image shot. The right side tree breaks that up a bit. I really like that tree, and its reflection. Very sharp. Nice colors, if a little discrete. Maybe a little wider angle, but nice as is.

    @GB1- Thanks. The mirror like reflection is what caught my eye the most about this place. it almost looks like an arrow because of how it all blends.

    The second edit with the lightened tree is fantastic.

    Thanks, guys! I appreciate all the feed back and help to improve my photography.

    That second picture from a different angle did not look that dark on my personal computer. lol
