[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 424346, member: 13090"] First off I'll say I like the shot. I makes me think of... Just being able to drift along. No thought, certainly no worries. Almost a Zen state. I like that you've left just a little room on the left edge. For me, it's creating just a hint of tension that the leaf is about to drift away. Any less room and it would just look "cramped"; much more room and the tension would dissipate. As for the reflections on the water I think they're what make this shot work. I think it's because there's such a good balance between the reflective and the non-reflective and how they're patterned across the frame ... Patterns are powerful. A polarizer would have enervated the shot in my opinion and I'm a huge proponent of the CPL. This is one of those shots where someone has taken what would normally be a distracting element and turned it around to make it work in their favor. The only thing I might like to see would be the leaf on the right edge of the frame instead of the left. Maybe... [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
