      Johnny, I mean Jesus H C, did you add the vignette or was that from the lens? It's not 2:3 or 3:4 so you must have cropped a bit to get it just how you wanted it. I looked at it a bunch of different ways and your crop looked best. I though a 16:9 would look good but it doesn't. Nice work.

      Thanks for the comments and favs everyone. I'm glad people seem to like this shot as much as I do.

      I tried the 16:9 crop too because I was worried that so much water in the foreground may be too dominant. But as I looked at it I just loved how the water was so still and seemed to have the perfect fade to it. Once I fell in love with the fading colors of the water I added a touch some vignetting to the sky to help match everything up and tie the sky to the water. Did I add too much?
