Earl – Very nice, I love the coloring and composition of this shot, I just can’t find anything wrong with it. Excellent work!

Earl: Lots to like about this one, but the clincher (for me) is the low-left placement of the fisherman. It just works. Close second would be the tonal layers. Superb. --Joe

Gorgeous golden colours, beautiful scene and love the smoke rising from the water. ... Vikas

Beautiful shot Earl; beautifully composed. I love the subtleness of the warm, bronze tones, and the contrast between the water and the mountains in the background. Very good imagery for the film, "On Golden Pond".

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

Olaf.dk, Yes it was a hand held shot, but I didn't break the focal length/shutter speed rule of thumb. Here is the full exif info in case you're interested. (Seems that "save for web" in Photoshop strips this info).

Very pleasing image! Nice light, color and composition. It looks a little blurry to me, did you handhold beyond your capabilities? Did you use the hyperfocal distance or set the lens at infinity? — Olaf
