Nothing nicer than good natural light

CDA River, mid afternoon, the skies were awesome with a polarizer filter.

Fernan lake in the evening, some great amber light hit the green and made great colorful reflections

Both shots are quite good. I really like the 2nd pic. The reflections are perfect.

Ron, nice shots, both of them. I like the just barely visible capture of the water fowl swimming towards you.

You're so right. Crisp, clear summer light and a beautiful vista.

Damn...now I want to take the afternoon off!

You captured a beautiful day.

I really like the second shot Ron. Nice greens, and the reflections are beautiful. The bird is a nice touch also. I like the composition of the first shot too. It makes you feel like you are sitting there in a chair just enjoying the afternoon.

I like the second shot a lot Ron. The fallen log gives just enough of a focal point to allow us to contemplate the greenery and its reflections.

Thanks everyone really appreciate the nice feedback and reasonings :-)
You guys have good eyes, I didn't think the duck would show up in the small sized pic enough to really see it. I know it's there and have trouble finding it with my eyes lol
