Nice.
Suggest you started using a GDF so you would not blow out water surfaces like you did on the 2nd shot.;)

Love that first one. Second seems a bit over-exposed or maybe it's fog?

I agree...first is very good, second needs more exposure on the bottom.

I should have been more forthcoming explaining the second shot rather than assuming that the title for the second photo would explain what I did. I liked the mood conveyed when I turned the shot 180 degrees..... You guys have a point .......... I could have paid more attention to that sky. Here is a quick crop to eliminate the sky entirely. It squares the shot and I am not sure if I like it any better. I will spend some time ( eventualy) in PS to see what can be done.

beautiful I like them both. Sari.

I like both of them. Cropping did not improve the 2nd one for me. It looks surreal because the water is so calm and is a perfect mirror.
