Default Like Glass but not......

Testing my new Camera....




Not great shot wise (wonky horizon) but I also was playing with the polarizing filter on it so this is just a test shot to see what you guys think....

Crisp and clean, and the polarizer did a good job of balancing things out. The reflection is almost glass-like. The horizon can be tweaked easily enough. This is a nice shot.

Beautiful shot!...nevermind the horizon, as Jim said that can be corrected easily later. The reflection is just brilliant. Thanks for sharing this beautiful image.

Great shot. Reflections are always something to capture but a ferry creating a ripple can also be fantastic, especially with a background like that.

Cheers, Bernz

This is a Wonderful Landscape, well composed and your dof is very good. The horizon is just fine, fix it later.
Thanks for sharing this
Michael.
