Hi Chris, this is quite an interesting composition you’ve captured. I had to glance twice to see the reflection, with the still water. Like the additional detail down near the bottom.

Very cool. A little scroll crop leaving just the straight part of the trunks is even more interesting to me. Did you by chance warm the blue channel? I like the gradation of color from light to dark.

Chris, this is a great view with the gnarly trunk and an outstanding reflection. I like the mix of very clean to somewhat distorted reflection, with the knob at the top hinting of more complexity.
