Autumn Reflections

Two very different types of water reflections showing the fall colours. The second is hand held at 1/4 sec (thanks to IS)

Beautiful colors and reflections. Lovely photos.

Scott,the 2nd one does absolutely nothing to me to be honest.
The first one though looks nice with good reflections,although too much compression has spoilt it and looks pixelized on my monitor.

Thanks for the critique Dimitri and I agree that the compression hurts the shot. I'm not sure why the pixelation occurs with some photos and not others. Sometimes I think the amount of PP creates the problem however this shot has very little (10% mask over top half of the frame as exposure was set for the reflection. No sharpenning).

I'm not sure about the second shot either, but there is something about it I keep coming back to....not sure why!
