I'd enjoy it more if you'd fry those bitches up and put it on some toast and deliver it to me.Another submission of mine. This was one of the first shots with my new Nikon 50mm f/1.8, nothing special here.

Enjoy!

Hi I've been a lurker for months and am an enthusiast. C&C welcome! This is Duck Lake in the High Eastern Sierras.

We have a lake named "duck Lake"? Wow. What other landmarks are near there? And what mountain is that?
I really like the shot. The only thing I don't like is the reflection directly across the center of the picture.
Oh, and the stillness of the water seems a little eerie. but that's just me!
The lake is 5 miles +/- from Mammouth Lakes, the trailhead starts from the Lake Mary campground.... I know the photo does not comply with the rule of "thirds" but the stillness of the water that morning was eerie, and I couldn't help but play up the mirror effect. Thanks
As Art Wolfe has said when putting the horizon right down the middle - sometimes it's the right thing to do.
@ipodtoucher: The problem that I personally find with this picture is that my eye is not going to the leaf. Instead, my eye focuses on the white boards which are not the focus of the pic. Instead I would have placed/moved the leaf to the white boards creating a strong contrast between the two. (if that makes sense)
@bld44: Not to say the first pic was bad, but I definitely like this pic better than the one that you posted on the 18th.

Look who I bumped in to on the beach....
Was this what he was after?
Oh well, he left empty-mouthed...

After a good eight hours of photographing mostly antiquities in Athens, this shot turned out to be one of my favorites at the end of the day.

The pic looks fine to be. The rule of thirds is only ever a composition device to stop us putting the subject dead centre every time. But the subject of this pic is the whole mountain and its reflection, and the composition emphasises the symmetry and stillness. But I would have moved a few metres to the left, to exclude the bit of foliage, bottom right, which kinda spoils the illusion...
Wow... that is one sharp lens. The duck reached right through my laptop screen and pecked my hand...

After eight hours photographing antiquities, this is the shot I'd take too... Fun and bubbly...

I like how some of the water looks like gold flakes. Well done.
