    Hey All,
    It has been some time since I took this. I found it on a revisit to my file yesterday. What do you think?

    It's an okay shot to my eye. It needs "more" imo to tie it all together. I'd have liked to have seen more black grass in the foreground as it's adding an interesting repeating pattern that "leads" to the sun...so perhaps this was cropped too close at the botton...hmmm. Image slopes to the right a bit as well.

    Thanks Marko. This was shot from the edge of the lake. It is not cropped. I didn't notice the slop to the right too until you mentioned

    Mark makes some good points here. I know that I really like the mood it creates.

    Ditto what Iggy said. One small thing, I find it maybe a tad too dark on the right and left edges.

    I don't mind this. Might be stronger in B&W.
