Danny, yes... I added a bit of Lucis Arts. I was going for that look, so don't mind the hard water (and actually lessened it a bit on the water), but I agree with what you said.
Thank you, gentlemen!

Nice composition. Curious, did you spike the contrast & definition post-processing? I like what it does to the wood, but find it gives water a 'hard' quality. I'm not taking anything away from your shot, Lydia, it's great. Just curious because I can't seem to get it to work right when I do it.

Very strong compositional elements as is the symmetry. The Adirondack chair and life preserver are the exclamation point to this excellent picture. I might have popped the saturation up a bit. Good work, as always, Lydia.
