Another pickerel weed reflection

[DanK]

Another reflection of a pickerel weed, with water lily pads in the background. I wonder if this one is too complex. C&C welcome, of course.

I think the water being more busy the plant and reflection stand out less. Don't know if it is a crop but I would not cut off the lower reflections.

It still is a very nice image.

Very neat...the darken version of the reflection must be the result of the sun shining too harshly on it...I like this effect...

I too like the dark reflections , it is a bit busy composition but nice image

[Shadowman]

Very nice.

I really enjoy it also. It keeps your eyes moving around the whole photo.

I like this too. The first impression is interesting and then when you look closer you see a nice variety of shadows, lighting and back lighting on the leaves.

Nice image, but I definitely prefer the first one you posted. It was not as busy, and in my eyes, that made for a more compelling image.

Thanks, all. I tend to agree with Manfred. I like the more complex surface in this one (the clouds were quite uniform in the other), but the image as a whole looks a little busy.
