I went out on March 31st to take some more photos at the pond. I followed some suggestions that I received on my original post here at the forum. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of this version.

There are no rules for a good photograph and there are no excuses for a bad one.

Thanks for your feedback on my post Stayhumble. The last photos I took were centered but I thought I would try something a little different this time.

Only thing I would think to do would be to clone out the crooked looking signs, poles, on the side of the tracks Thanks very much Tmoore323. I'm afraid that I don't have the skills to clone those out. I would mess it up for sure. Canon 60D since Dec. 2011, Canon 28-135mm lens, Canon 70-300mm USM lens and Nifty Fifty 50mm 1.8 lens.

Your skill may vary. Thanks so much for your reply Cpam. I'm not good enough to clone those out either. Maybe one of these days.

I'll go there again when the trees start greening up.
The contrast in foreground to background colors is also very nicely done. It divides your image into thirds with the yellows in the foreground, the greens in the midground, and the blues/grays in the background.
