Greetings from the Critique Club!

Looks like the opening scene from a movie about giant gators (or is it crocs in Florida? I can never remember). Great colour, love the super-high horizon as if you're down there in the water, but I get the sense that we should be looking for something to disturb this sylvan scene...like a croc/gator snout breaking the surface and sending out ripples to warn us that all is not so peaceful. What does lie beneath?

Great dof, light to die for, comp works well. I think the size hurt you a bit as it looks quite small and the border minimizes it even more. A lot of good stuff going on here, if only it were bigger.

Feel free to PM me

Susan

Lovely reflections - a different perspective on them than the usual fare.
