Graham, your latest posting, http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/sywell_30.html
shows that you are indeed working a scene to squeeze every possibility into
an image.

With that said, I think the earlier posting was the stronger image.  I
believe that the trees on either side distract and that the meadow in front
of the water dilutes the scene.  It could be just me, but the only time I
have liked foreground before the water has been some David Muench work where
there were some wild Calla Lilies in the immediate foreground and some
un-remembered photographers pictures where it was a strong graphic of a
silhouetted fisherman with his long shadow into the water and the reflected
mountains in the mirror like water.

Your postings from England are a very pleasant refreshment after a grueling
day in the salt mines.
