My backyard is full of snow right now. I am jealous! I would like to have seen this with a little more light to kind of keep the water from blending in with the horizon. Anyway, you are so lucky!

You've got one heck of a nice backyard! Colors seem a little dulled. Perhaps a touch more adjustment with curves is needed.

What a back yard! You certainly have captured a powerful sense of solitude.
