Lovely composition and framing detail...

and the aspect ratio of 1.84:1 is very nice.

The smooth as glass sea, but also the balance
between the cloud / reflection edge treatment,
the sharp foreground edge (lower left)... plus
the raizor sharp / level horizon.

It only looks like it's "not the most difficult to capture"
while in reality the photo is very well execute in detail.

"Almost summer"... it's about time.

My vegetable garden is coming along nicely, and no chance of frost during the cool nights. Thank you for noticing, I indeed tried to balance the Eastern shoreline in the distance with a bit of the rocky shoreline in the lower left portion of the frame. Be...
