So I went backpacking recently in the local mountains and brought my new D40X with me. I look forward to your opinions because I want to learn to help me improve myself. If it would help I could also post the EXIF data.
I personally like #1 and #2 the best. There's just a little bit of water in the second one, too little to really add anything (such as a reflection) to the picture. So it's a bit of a distraction.
Other than that these all look really clear, and crisp! I love how still the water is. Really conveys a peacful feeling.
Also :thumbup: for backpacking! I need to do more of it. Need to get up to the UP in the fall so I can hike the Porcupine Mountains.
#3 seems a little off. maybe more reflection in the water? since there are no clouds or anything in the sky, may have worked better with more landscape.
