    High Key. Prescott Court House, I believe Tmax100, 75mm f/32, Red25A filter about a 1 min exposure. Don't have my notes with me.

    I like the smooth water. The detail is quite nice. Not a scene I would shoot. For me it is a bit busy, overall the tone, lighting and contrast are good. Maybe a different crop might work better.

    Thanks a lot. Photographed late in the evening, almost in the dark.

    Steve, my suggestions are minor since I rather like the simple geometry of your Prescott House. I would burn down the bright top of the steps a smidge, and would crop a bit of the empty foreground.

    Wonderful use of the light -- I assume that a print would have more detail in the whites of the steps than I see on the screen -- I see good texture there on the screen as it is.

    What I find interesting about this image is the optical illusion (or eye-brain failure) that can happen when a building is photographed from a low angle, yet has sides that are perfectly vertical...especially with a top-heavy piece of architecture like this. It appears to loom over me...my brain tells me that when looking up at this building, it's sides should tilt inwards, but they don't. So even with perfectly straight up and down sides, it gives me the same feeling as the walls angle outwards. An elevated vantage point (like on top of AA's vehicles) would be fun to play with.

    I love working in areas like this. I would have tried moving the camera over about a meter to the left (if possible) to separate the two darker trunks on the right from the darker tree branches that jut out from the right side of the frame. It would invite my eyes and imagination to explore onwards through the print -- with the darker branches helping to keep my eyes within the print, rather than blocking me. But so much also depends on the interactions in the reflections and the wonderful shape of the space occupied by the plane of the water.

    I hadn't thought of that. I will need to revisit this.
