Satin River..

Took this the other day after sunset. I really like the shot but am not happy about the branch in the middle :( , and it's not in focus perfectly....

would like to hear your opinions.....

Love it. Very atmospheric.

The branch may not be perfect, but it gives the picture a sense of scale/depth. Without it, it'll look flat.

Only pity is the black mass at the top, i.e. the lack of detail in the shadow area at the top (or is this due to my poor monitor at work). Cropping wouldn't work though, as this trows the balance of the picture out.

This has a great mood to it. I agree with mdr that the black on the top takes away from it. Even a small bit of detail in this area would improve it alot.

thanks guys, appreciate the comments. I'll try again bringing a bit more detail out in the top area, though I like it that way.

cheers
