Early Morning Pond C&C

[echoyjeff222]

Went out to a local playground/walking area nearby my place in China at 6:00AM, hoping for something nice. I wanted to capture the typical morning atmosphere where I am -- misty, dreamy, ethereal.

Thoughts? I have plenty more chances to come back here.

#1 is my favorite. I could get lost looking at that picture. I like the composition of it also. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice images... the time and space is really felt; well framed too

You captured alot of depth in #1.

What could I improve on for the latter two? I like the first the most as well

I think I would have positioned myself so as to get just the angler in the red seat in frame for the third shot. The colours are so soft and mellow and then this one point of red....

I really like #1, except I would have liked to see a very slightly lower shooting angle to get that center Weeping Willow branch off the water, but still behind the tree line. No one else mentioned it, so maybe it's just me. I don't know, that branch crossing in front of the water bothers me

I thought the exact same thing, Rick. Those weeping willow trees are picturesque, but grow so fast that they're hard to control. That October 'freak' snowstorm trashed alot of them here.

I didn't even notice that! Hm, okay. I guess I'll try to go back one of these days and try getting rid of that branch xD Hopefully it hasn't grown another few inches in that time span
