Ogle lake

Beautiful morning in Brown County. Please feel free to comment.

Thanks -Tracy

This is good, and the soft, earthy hues are pleasant. However, a general rule of thumb with landscape shots involving reflective water is to have the amount of water equal to the amount of sky/land showing. The balance  allows the viewer to see both the beautiful landscape and its relfection on the water - without both, it just seems incomplete. So in the future, I'd recommend you shoot so that the edge of the water is closer to the center. You can make it a little lower if there is something interesting on the land or higher if there is only sky. But if there are objects beyond the water that add to the image, you should generally try to avoid cutting them off.  Good luck. =)

I did a second crop and thought I would share it. Thanks for the help.

Best wishes - Tracy

Really good photo, nice place, vivid colours. I agree with Anna in question of composition, using wider angle lens could definitely help.

Regards.

Your second version is much better. Actually is awesome. There is even some space to crop from bottom to enhance upper half.
