Like the title says, all involve reflections. All 4 are straight from the camera (Xti) no PP.

comments appreciated

Nice photos George, I favor the first and last.

I like the last one; but the leaf could be a little sharper. Were you hand holding?

I am drawn to the first.I like it.

[George E.]

Yes, I wish the leaf was sharper in the last one. It was shot handheld bending over a creek, 1/8s at 55mm with the 18-55mm IS kit lens. No PP on any photo, sharpening might help but I should have noticed the 1/8s and bumped the ISO up to 800 from 400 or used f5.6 instead of f7.1 I usually forget to check something before I press the shutter :(

I usually do some PP but I'm not sure how to improve the first one, any ideas?? Or leave it as is?


Thanks for the comments!!

I do like the first one, although I wouldn't try to do anything else to it. It's fine as is. It's hard getting really sharp pics with the kit lens.
