 Shot this while I was "hunting" for pictures of migrating geese. The blue ribbon allusion made me smile...

I think a different crop on this would have done it a lot better. If you would have cropped around the rope and the reflection, it would have made the photograph symmetrical.

Maybe if you had sharpened a little more and saturated the colors a bit more to make the rope pop, it would look a little better.

As it is, the focus is dead on and the reflections are magnificent. If one takes the time, they see the rope, a bunch of trees, and a barn.

Keep on shooting.

If this was helpful, please check the box and if you have questions or comments, feel free to PM me.

The reflection is sharp, but the colours are unappealing, and the photo doesn't seem to be saying anything.
