I love what you did with the image, I think your treatment of the light is perfect and the tonal range is spot on. The brightest area in the middle is not too bright to the eye and it lets thee eye wander around the image. I wouldn’t change a thing. I like the you can see all the fallen leaves under the water in the foreground. Beautifully seen!

Joao,

I love this photo. The fog imparts such a wonderful mystery and the reflection is glass perfect. If there was one thing that I would like changed, which I know cannot happen, would be that the reflection at the very bottom of the frame did not allow the water bottom to show through. The texture there breaks up the serenity of the flog and reflection. Otherwise, a wonderfully seen and captured moment.

Absolutely not.
It is a lovely picture and well captured. It is calm and the edit emphesizes it ver nicely.

This is beautiful, Joao. The dark shapes on the right and left edges push my eyes into the frame.

I tried this in black and white. I think you could go either way.

No suggestions. Fine work.
