hi there, neat effect with the wind, good composition and the black and white looks great, good one!
thanks scott

I really love the mood and effect created here, because you photographed the reflection of a subject that people very commonly photograph directly, and not only that, you used black and white, which is unusual in any shots of water reflections. You've done an excellent job handling the contrasts, and the framing and composition are so strong with the inclusion of the thick dark branches at the top right corner, they balance so well with the other trees. Excellent rich tonalities and great use of lighting from that cloudy sky to make this moody and dramatic. The very slight ripples or warping of the water's surface create a dreamy or otherworldly effect on the reflection, making the shot more dynamic and interesting. Really nice work Stephen, thanks for sharing!
