I'm not too sure about the sky to be honest, i took two shots with different exposure levels. One for the sky, and one for the ground/trees. I tried blending them, and feel that i've not succeeded on that one.

But otherwise, i like the shot. Any comments?

I think this photo has a lot of potential.

I think you are correct that the merge or the two images hasn't worked 100%, there seems to be some halos around the tops of the trees in the center that isn't apparent of the reflection.

Brilliant colours by the way, and very nice reflections.

I think a much tighter crop would suit this better.

I think the fact that it's a tiny little pond should be hidden:




You can also get the horizon on a third then.

my picture, which was 197 pixels too big!

Better?

[busterboy]

Much better and the border has improved things IMO..

[Dave]

Agree with others about tighter crop. Nice shot.

[Gemok]

yeah its a much nicer shot cropped.
I still find it weird that showing less of something makes it look better

[SammyC]

I don't think you should be afraid to crop an image. Esp. as most DSLR viewfinders don't give a 100% acurate image.

I much prefer your linked crop there Jonny

The removal of the moon from the shot has made a big difference, on the original it wasn't big enough to add to the image.

It captures a cold winters day quite well I think.

Yes, much better mate!
