Comment from CREZart
I am really enjoying this shot. I love going out early when the sun's orange hues are present and a tad of fog only makes it that much better. Composition and depth of field are great as well. The added dimension including the dried weed is ideal.

This is a truly beautiful nature shot. You've done an excellent job with the framing, and the balance of light, shadows, and colours brings it to life. Well done!

This is an excellent shot, very eye catching and gives off a warm feeling. I love the silhouette of the plant in the foreground highlighted by the orange glow of the rising sun. It makes for an interesting image.

This really does deserve a six. I wish I could award you one. Composition, limited colors, angle, and overall presentation extremely well done. Lovely photography, Brian.

This is a nice view. Love the softness of this photo, love the tree that gives us perspective of the size of the lake. A peaceful place to be in. Great photi

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of your lovely dawn location. Colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Kathy Banich
I really like you POV in this shot, which allows for nice interest, textures and lines in the dormant plant. The image is straight and has a level waterline in the background. Though the sun has slightly clipped - it does not distract from the beauty of the scene. The image creates a feeling of warmth, calm and relaxation. Very pretty.
