Last June, I had a chance to get out on a small lake in the Adirondack Mountains of New York state. A friend and I were out very early in kayaks to capture the Sun rise. This is one of the photos that I took not long after sunrise. I printed the image on fine art paper and took it to get a mat cut today. Only later did I begin to wonder if this group would have suggestions for improving this image. So please don't hesitate to offer suggestions.

Re: Fallen Trees, Early Morning
Love the image. I'm a complete sucker for natural arrangements of things. My only criticism is that both larger logs seem almost too smooth. I want them to have more texture and roughness. Because of the smoothness of the foreground log I initially had a hard time separating the log from the clear water on the lower right side.

Re: Fallen Trees, Early Morning
I love the image as it is... But, it could also be cropped somewhere through the log near the bottom.

Re: Fallen Trees, Early Morning
Nice Shot which well captures the early morning ambience. Agree with Richard re cropping. However as for more texture and roughness on semi submerged log? I live a good half a hemisphere away from where this was taken but that's how semi-submerged logs in rivers look to me under these conditions, and how I expect to see them, smooth, wet and slippery.
