Romancing Reality 
Possibly the best one yet. This looks like the 16:9 crop ratio, too.I’ve been using it a lot myself lately.

Thanks, Ken. I didn’t crop it like this until all other possibilities wouldn’t work, and I wasn’t thinking “16:9 crop ratio.” Still, in general I do like the look of a longer narrower aspect ration in general. It’s just that when I frame through the viewfinder I automatically try to compose the image in the aspect ratio that the viewfinder gives me. But when I am disappointed by the download of something I had high hopes for, I start fooling with the crop. Usually that means trimming from the top and/or bottom or going to a square format. Glad you like this image.

I like it too – the progression from left to right, from mostly seeing the bottom to mostly reflection.

Thanks, Lynn. That’s weird, isn’t it. Must have to do with how deep the stream was in those parts.

Or the angle of light?

Yeah, maybe the water surface is angled from flowing over something in the stream, so the sun hits it differently.
