C&C: Early morning photography

[Compaq]

I went through my folder of early morning pictures, and found a few I thought was nice, or could be cropped nice. Reflections are perhaps a theme in these, you can judge for yourself. I'm afraid the first one look too processed, but it came that way out of the raw converter. I think I pushed the fill light slide up a bit, as well as the "restore" or whatever it's called (the one that "fixes" highlights). However, in number one, I like the that it's very contrasty, I like the reflections, I like the fog. I just like it. If you turn it up-side-down, it doesn't look too weird, except for that rock. I think it has great depth, even if it has no direct horizon (only the reflection), it's all water.

In #2 I think the sky in the water really looks nice. The picture show where the sun is - or rather, where the sun is rising.

What do you think?

Both very nice images; I especially like #1 as the cloud reflection almost takes on the appearance of fog. Well shot.

Thank you! It's just as exciting to put up photos for c&c now when I've been at it for a year, as it was when I started!
