"Troubled Visions"
After traveling pretty extensively this autumn, I managed to create this image right near my home at a local park. I just loved the perfect arrangement of leaves floating on the clear, dark water. Thanks for looking!

Lovely image, pretty colors and details. You probably didn't need to stop down that far...

Hi

I like these image types and yes I like the composition - as mentioned I would expect a slightly better image quality from a more open aperture; but in fairness this would not always be apparent, it depends upon usage.

Personally I would present this shot as a vertical, I just feel the lines and leaf placements more suited to this format, but again that probably a me thingy lol

Overall - I like it and have enjoyed the view

All the best
Matthew

Thanks for the comments guys! As for f/32, there is a surprising amount of depth in this frame, and it's not shot perfectly straight down (standing on a log overlooking deep water). Additionally, I couldn't focus stack as the wind was constantly moving the leaves (hence ISO 1600). There is a method to my madness, believe it or not :)
