Drove by a lake by the airport and found this shot. I've been to this lake before, but only got sunset pics of it. Raw to Jpg - Wait, I had the darn camera set on JPG, the only thing I did was adjusted the Levels just a tad. AND ONE BIG DUST SPOT. then resized. Comments and feedback always welcomed.

Somebody should be there with a fishing pole. The fish were there waiting, you can see the ripples from one.

A nice inviting scene. Well done.

Yes, I think I would like this better if it had someone sitting in the chair with their back to the camera.

Still a nice shot though. It does capture the stillness of the early morning, I can feel it when I look. (I think I smell bacon too.)

Nice execution of a nice concept, either with or without someone in the chair.

I like the light. It is rather mysterious having that emty chair.

very nice shot. I would desaturate the blue/cyan in the dock. It keeps grabing my attention and stands out to much

Wonderful colors. I would think the fisherman was anxious to get back to his fishing rig as he seems to have a bite on the line.

Good job capturing a "feeling" (tranquility) in this shot.

Beautiful and tranquil scene, Todd. Wonderfully composed and color is amazing. Too bad the old man wouldn't 'pose' for you, but a terrific capture nonetheless.

I love the tranquil mood of early morning. Nicely done Todd. I love the pastel colours as well.

I think that it is better without the old man in the picture, you can almost put yourself in the picture. Very nice sky and reflections.

That's the one the photographer needs to step up as a model. Nice, peaceful scene. Nothing like sensor dust to add a little texture...
