Comments on this please!!!!!

This is always such a subjective thing.  They're both lovely.  I prefer the version without the sky just because the colors are so stunning.  And for that very reason it would also be nice to see the entire line of colorful trees....just a bit more on the left and the colorful tree at the top.  Just another idea.  You can't go wrong with any of them.  :-)

Hi AJ, It is indeed a difficult thing to say as stated above it's subjective. First the colors are great and I personally like reflective images very much, so this fits the bill. The only thing I'm not sure about and again it's only MHO is the foreground area, I'm not sure if it's needed. Just my two cents AJ. Take care.

Christal and Holger, thanks much for your critiques and comments. Greatly appreciated!!!!   AJ

I agree with Holger, for the same reasons.

Benoit, thanks for viewing and for your input!!!!   AJ

First thing, this is some very spectacular scenery! I agree with Christal's composition as preferable, but contrary to Holger, I think the foreground belongs as is. If there were a version looking down over the hedges to fill the foreground with reflection, then I'd say to exclude the hedges, otherwise it needs something in the foreground. Awesome capture! -Clayton
