Taken with and old "1950s" rolliflex with tmax100. This lake has a beautiful bald cypress fringe.

Think I might have liked to see a little more (some) foreground. Otherwise well done.

photojournalism quality: very good. otherwise...

This qualifies as a fine art photograph to me. I like the pattern of vertical lines and the dark part of the tree trunks contributes an element of mystery that adds to the interest of the photograph.

I like it. I think the composition is very well done and it draws me into the picture. In my opinion, either a slight amount of polarization, a bit of careful dodging and burning at the time of printing, or maybe even a grad ND filter would help differentate between the tree trunks and the reflections in the water. That might clear up some of the confusion about lack of foreground while still maintaining the vanishing poing perspective.

Larry, the image must not have downloaded completely when I first viewed it. Imagine the photo cut off at the base of the trees in the background. That's what I saw and this is what I wanted to see. :) Sorry for the confusion.
