Awesome puddle

[Harksie Photos]

what do people think of the use of a puddle? I like the concept for this one but is more needed? I really liked the reflection so focused more on that. But like the idea of a break in the road. Should I back off of the puddle and focus on the entire scene or is this alone a good image itself? Also what do people think of the perspective? Is a lower angle needed? Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

I like the concept,how's about flipping upside down

I really like the feeling that I'm looking through the puddle into another world. I would keep it in this orientation. As a sidenote, your aperture was probably way higher than you needed in this situation.

Nice image! I agree about the aperture probably being a bit tight. As far the idea of flipping the perspective, it looks like an image shot from inside a cave when flipped.

Amazing photograph and I love the idea.
I would like to see a touch more of the ground surrounding the pool of water especially to the left where the reflection is leading out of the frame.
Very beautiful shot that deserves many more comments than it has received.

I like this shot. I would not change much, it is unique all in its own.

Great shot! I would have to agree with one of the previous posters in that i would flip this 180* to see what that would look like.

I like the very striking contrast. A very nice shot. I think I would have taken several backing off a little each time and then selected the best.
