While in Austin last weekend, Jan Klier and I went down to Barton Springs to do some shooting on Sunday morning. We walked down to a really cool spot where a canoe rental business operated on the side of the creek (Barton Creek? Barton Springs Creek?). The creek here was beautiful with clear water, ducks, swans, and overhanging trees. I took this one photo and my camera card was full (I hate it when that happens; someday I'll learn to carry a spare)!

I like the way you framed the shot. The canoes as a foundation, the people and the canopy of the trees has a nice foreground, middle ground, background feel to me. Leaves my eye intrigued.

Thanks for your comments Jan! I have to consider myself lucky to have gotten such a nice shot when I only had room left on my card for this one shot!
Cheers!
