I find the rock in the bottom distracting so crop it off It will then be very symmetric about the reflection axis, but nicer.

I like the photo alot, especially the reflections (or whatever they are) in the water. The left side of the photo is a bit dark, though. Steve, do you like the RG25? I bought 4 rolls of this, hearing it was going to be discontinued. What do you like to do with it? ESP

It is a nice and peaceful image and I love the foreground quality. I also do not mind the rock in the foreground. It breaks the monotony. The right hand side is a little too bright for my taste. Since this is from a negative, you must have more detail hidden in the negative that you can capture by re-scanning. I think it has more impact if the image is darkened by about 1/2 stop.

Background hill are overexposed and beg for use of a graduated ND filter.
