Leffert Pond

[Jameel Hyder]

Out east the lakes are called ponds.

This is a popular location in Vermont esp. during fall color season. I have mulled over this image for a while. I like the colors and overall composition. Not sure if the grasses hurt or help the image.

Comments and critique welcome.

I like it a lot, the grasses don't hurt a bit. Do you have one with the trees completed in the reflection?

I like the lighting in this as well as the reflections and colors. The low mist along the shoreline is a neat feature as well. The grass adds some depth to the scene for my eyes.

I didn't give any thought to the extent of the reflections until i read Ben's post. Now I can't unsee the fact that the tops are missing

What a cool pond Jameel! I sure like those east coast colors!

Its all Ben's fault

I do happen to have a slightly wider perspective shot as well.

Very nice, I prefer the wider perspective - you've handled the light and clouds perfectly.

 

[Mike Mancil]

Nice!

 

[Ben Egbert]

Another vote for the wider version.

A Very nice scene, color. Wide+

 

[AlanLichty]

'Nuther vote for the wider view. Nice that you had more to play with in the original frame.

I like this one better as well. It is beautiful and the light is perfect.

Having more sky reflected in the scene is more interesting and actually the grasses on the right help break up the mirrored effect.
Nice work Jameel.
