A dew pond on the South Downs

A view from on top of the South downs.

Constructive critism please

wow! the shape of that pond is unreal and really makes for an interesting photo. i do like this photo, however i find the placement of the tree, and perhaps the horizon as well, a bit too central. i can't think of any concrete suggestions which might have improved this (less sky maybe?), but i can tell you that this pond and that tree has got huge potential.

consider cropping out some sky...

Terrific nature. Good composition but the weather was not on youre side.Blue sky with a few clouds would have made the photo something ele. But it is hard to get everything you wish sometimes.

Thank you for the coments, I think central positing in my photographs is a common compisitional error I make. Must try to improve it.

 

I'd try to exploit the light (spot to the right of the tree) & it's reflection if possible. ....and try to return here again and again.

impressive & excellent

I LOVE THIS SHOT ALMOST UNREAL AND A GREAT REFLECTION IN THE WATER , WELL DONE

Definitely too central a placement for the horizon, but the tree and pond are fine. Crop a bit off the sky, and a tad from the ground, and you'd have it. Also - the mood is nice here. A blue sky isn't always the best route. I like the darkness of this.
