This past Saturday morning started this way...

Pickerington Ponds, Pickerington, OH. EXIF should be there. These are by far my best so far with my new D300 :mrgreen: C & C welcome as always! Sorry if #2 is a little big, I can resize if it'd be better.

Did you post process? The colors are wonderful. Like a millpond. Great reflectivity. Nice shot.

Only PP is tightening up the levels to the white/black endpoints on the histogram. No saturation or other color changes.

Thanks to both of you so far!!

i dunno if it's just me but the horizon looks just a ToUcH crooked - not sure though hah

These are really pretty. If you used a tripod to take these, I suggest checking your levels thoroughly before shooting. A straight horizon line makes a big difference, but this is also just my opinion and can be done in post as well.
