Nicely done. My first impression would be to get the weed wacker out, but I'm glad they were included in the scene. :)

Thanks Sam; my first thoughts were to find a way to avoid the reeds, but I couldn't have cleared them without falling into deep mud or water, so I gave up and decided that they were an essential part of the fabric of the photograph. :)
I think I'm getting better at the focus thing (tilt helps!) but it's not perfect. I'm just trying to learn how this works :)

This image was taken at a location along the coastal line of northen Califonia I think that is in Humbolt county? Toyo field AII, fujinon 90mm, Kodakchrome VS100.
d -- looks like Dry Lagoon in Humboldt County. Nice!
A couple of older images that just took their first trips on the scanner.

That pair of images work together really well, it also looks extremely cold!
I like them. There's a tendency, in both photography and life, to get upset over what is perceived as "clutter", but that clutter is often an integral part of things. I like the inclusion of it in landscapes; nature is not tidy.
(I also dislike my landlords' weed whacker... always chopping down the morning glories. "Weeds" they call 'em.)
