I would suggest crop left right and bottom, slightly ... not sure if the darkened edges add to the over all effect or not ... I could be wrong.

I like your usage of flipped reflection.

The only thing I don't like is the black lines running on the left and right borders but I wouldn't crop them out. You could on the right but on the left it would put that tree to close to the edge and that would take away a lot for me. If you added them I'd take them out, but if not leave them be. Whatever you do don't take just the right out, that would ruin it.

thanks for the feedback everyone. i guess i've become a bit of a slave to using a "frame" or border lately. i guess i've been getting a little too artsy-fartsy with photos posted on watch forums (yeah, i'm one of those guys, too). i was really just trying to see what i could do in a short time with what i thought was a throw-away. this pond is right outside my office window and i had run out to try and capture the amazing sunset that peeked out between the clouds. unfortunately, i can't just step out the door- i have to run down 50 yards of hallway, thru security and then 75 yards back around the building. needless to say- i missed it

here's the jpeg ver. of the RAW image i used in this exercise-
