    Only a small amount of Spanish Moss in this one. C&C welcome.

    Focus and exposure are fine.

    Ideally, I would have liked to see a shot from slightly closer so the amount of dark foreground was reduced while there was a little more of the reflection; particularly the moss covered tree. But it looks like this was one of those situations where it was impossible to get yourself into a perfect position.

    I like it. The lighting is very nice. I would suggest a tighter crop:

    -- bring up the bottom to decenter the middle line more and remove some of the uninteresting grass
    -- bring in the right to use the trees to frame the image
    --bring in the left a bit--the table and empty sky don't contribute.

    That would get you something like the image below. It has more of a center, I think. I hope you don't mind edits. Let me know if you do, and I will remove it.

    Thanks all for the comments and feedback.

    Dan I do think you edit give the image a better balance in the frame.

    Anyone else with feedback?

    Jim,
    I really like your shot and prefer your crop to the one suggested by Dan because I like to see the full trees on either side. A third option would be to keep the full width and crop most if not all the green grass at the bottom. You would end up with a nice panoramic scene.
