Silver & Orange

This is almost the opposite of my last image from Caddo Lake. Much more muted (taken before sunup) and in a more confined area with smooth water. I was standing on a fishing dock with a tripod and telephoto to capture.

Specific Feedback Requested

In retrospect, I think I should have cloned out the smattering of light coming through the trees on the upper right. Any other suggestions to make this stronger?

I think this is wonderful! The predawn light gives it a very special look with the muted colors, and the reflections are enchanting! I love the way they fade out naturally toward the bottom. Cloning out the spots of sky would be good, but they aren’t a distraction, to me.

I will second @Diane_Miller 's comments. The spots are a minor eye catcher but not a deal breaker IMHO.

Great capture. I love the pallet and composition. I didn’t notice the spots until I read your post.
