Hello TL friends. These little country ponds are some of my favorite places. It's just a nice quiet place to clear your head and collect your thoughts after a rough day. I took this shot on my way home from work.

For this shot I used a 55-200mm lens with a Hoya Circular polarizer. My focal length was at 55mm with the ISO set at 100. In PP I increased the saturation, cropped, framed then resized. I hope you like this shot and as always thanks for viewing.

Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Nice and lovely place you captured beautifully. Well done.
Dennis

I do not know if it is your camera and the accessories you use, or if it is you, or both, but your photos are amazing. I do not mind you cropping the big tree, because most of my attention goes to the reflection in the water. Beautiful! TFS

Hi Kevin,
Seeing this shot, I do believe that you have a good reason to like it. And knowing that it is a quiet place, then you are having a great reason.

Colors and clarity are very good. And the reflection is drawing a nice drama. A bit wider view might have produce another impact, but your choice for a tight crop enhanced the beauty of the reflection.

Regards,
Ramdan.

Hi Kevin

Beautiful picture of a beautiful place.
The reflection in the water is superb.
Shame that the tree to the left has been cropped, but still very well captured.

Regards Derek

Hi Kevin,

Excellent clarity and colours in this photo. Reflection on the pool is perfect. Good idea using the polarizer for this photo. It brought the colours and texture of the sky.

TFS.
