"He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate."
Henry David Thoreau

Concerning inclusion of the rock, and other oddities: I debated amongst myselfs about the rock. I cropped with, then without. I cropped with a large aspect ratio to simulate a pano. Then I asked myself "How does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?"
Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain in Shambala
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain in Shambala
Ah woo yeah, yay yay yay yay yeah
Ah woo yeah, yay yay yay yay yeah
Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind
On the road in Shambala
Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind
On the road in Shambala
Ah woo yeah, yay yay yay yay yeah
Ah woo yeah, yay yay yay yay yeah
How does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?
How does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?
I can tell my sister by the flowers in her eyes
On the road in Shambala
I can tell my brother by the flowers in his eyes
On the road in Shambala
Ah woo yeah, yay yay yay yay yeah
Ah woo yeah, yay yay yay yay yeah
How does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?
How does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?
Tell me how does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?
Tell me how does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?
Ah woo yeah, yay yay yay yay yeah
Ah woo yeah, on the road to Shambala
Ah woo yeah, Sha-Shambala
Ah woo yeah, on the road to Shambala

When I was finished it was rollover.
How does your light shine? Peace, my friends.

Comment by posthumous:
"it's nothing without the rock."
My feelings as well. Nothing more than schlock-postcard-ooh-looky-looky. The rock is the yin to the to reflection's yang, it lends balance to the image. |

| Before I even read your notes or posthumous's comment I was thinking "the rock makes this shot." I'm so glad you left it in. Most people would have cropped it out because most people are.... |

| Absolutely stunning but I find the rock at the bottom left unbalances and disturbs the total image somewhat. 8 |

| I really like this shot, but find the rock very distracting. Personally, I would have cropped it out. |

| This is very nice and I think it would be even better with just the bird and the rock removed. |

| This surely speaks zen. An 'insignificant' subject highlighting the 'environment' is true definition of "zen style" of arts. Great capture! |

| Beautiful scene. I might have cropped it so that the rock in the foreground was not there, as it is so prominent and confuses my eye a bit. 6 |
