This one kind of overwhelms at first, but more layers start to emerge after the eyes habituate. Taken at O'Neil Lake in Northern Michigan.

I don't find it overwhelming at all. In fact I have to agree with Donald. This is a wonderful photograph.
 
The first time I looked, I thought it was too "busy". But the more time I spend with it, I can see what you mean. Many interesting layers to explore, a very very beautiful print. Thanks for sharing.

Someone wrote about Eliot Porter's photography saying that his prints were visually interesting in their entirety and in all their details. This has that quality. It's visually very rich and engaging throughout. Very well done.
 
Nice work Dan!!

Magical. I'll bet the print is stunning. You've managed to generate an enormous depth of field here which helps to give the print a texture of its own. Great work. Shawn
 
Intense, the lines of the trees work really well with the lily pads. Kind of like it with the top 1/3 croped off, scroll up and have a look.
Cheers, Tony
 
Very nice, Daniel. I like this one a lot. Is it the one you took right before we left O'Neil Lake?

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Tony, I have considered cropping the negative differently (this print is already a crop [gasp!]). Leaving off the top portion of the print seemed to diminish the sense of looking "through" the scene. The thought running through my mind was, "...looking through the forest to see the trees.... and grasses, and lillies, etc." Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Mark. I'm still working on printing the last few negatives from O'Neil Lake. I hope something interesting comes from them, since it was such a beautiful scene.

All the best,
Daniel
