Kathy, the colors and the details stand out beautifully here. There’s a wonderful collection of yellows and greens which couple with the near perfect reflection for a very peaceful and inviting scene.

I, too, like the scene, Kathy. One comment that I have is that perhaps it’s slightly heavy with the Orton effect/glow on the top?

Kathy,

This is gorgeous! Love just about everything here, including the colors, processing. If i were to make a minor suggestion it would be mitigate the vertical reflection (trunk at the bottom.) Either a crop/clone combo and straight clone. I think you have room to shave a little off the bottom. I can’t recall however, if you’re adverse to removing things from your images - regardless, this is a winner either way.

Kathy, Wonderful intimate landscape. I agree with @Lon_Overacker about cloning out the tree trunk reflection. You did a great job of seeing here.
