Shot this in Sedona at Red Rock Crossing last week. Had about 15 minutes of sunlight to work with, which made for incredible reflections. Shot with 5DMkII, 24-105L, CPL and 3-stop hard GND:

Awesome shot! When I saw the title "Oak Vreek" I knew it had to be Sedona.

Wow, that is a beautiful shot, the lighting, reflection and the moon in the sky just makes this special.

Great shot. Love to go there at sunset. It's fun to watch the other photographers go through their routines.

WOW!! Awesome shot!! I am thankful to God for allowing me to travel the world thru others photographs, although I may never get to literally stand in that spot and view a scene similar to this, I have now been there thru your photograph, thanks for sharing.

Great shot, and awesome eye for the reflection. You've given me some ideas for future shots...

Thanks all for the kind words. I'm still debating on whether or not to crop the moon out...its too small to really add anything to the image. The clouds in the image are what blocked us from shooting the full moon rising. By the time the moon became visible, it was already way too high. But we caught it on the next night...

To maximize the reflections, the key is the polarizer...just dial in how much or how little reflection you want.

Leave the moon---its not a big honker like your other post but it still adds to the depth of the photo. Great exposure, by the way! I'm guessing you metered the highlights and brightened the shadows in PP? ND filter?

Really nice! Should be on a postcard or at least your wall. :)
