I think the fact that you favored, in term of inclusion in the frame, the reflection rather than the mountains themselves gives this scene a both a sense of balance and abstraction. Surely more so than if you had weighted the top of the scene. I would consider cropping the right hand side just a bit, somewhere between the relected dark shadow and the first white rock on the shore... I just tried it with a piece of paper... maybe, maybe not. (I'm sure that's helpful :smile: Anyway reguardless of the crop I think this is an exellent example of this type of scene.

I particularly like the steep line of the mountain on the right. Nice work. Best. Shawn
 
I really enjoy how "quiet" this picture is. There isn't any one thing that is a "subject" in itself but the design brings your eye into the little creek mouth. I'm sure it will look great as a very large print say 16x20.
