Nice earth colors there. And the blue of the sky.

I like the combination of the cool of the reflected blue sky and the warmth of the submerged leaves... lighting really works to make this image work.

A beautiful photo with wonderful colors, Ruth.

Nice job, and it must have been tough to find the water THAT still, too.

I like the colors. Any processing?

I like it. It's clear that using a polarizer to kill the reflections would have eliminated the clues that the leaves are underwater. Nice job.

I wish it was all clear, like the area on the right side, or all blue (preference). IMO the blue side is more interesting.

I find the blue/not -blue mix interesting. A very pleasant shot.

great colours, love it!

An interesting look. I like the colours. I'd suspect the leaves would still look as though they were floating if a polarizer had been used. They are casting shadows as they float.

Beautiful colors. I like that blue.

I love these kind of shots, the color is smashing. Great how the transparency varies across the frame, one is left with the feeling of gradual submersion.

Great capture.

The transition from blue to gold gives the impression that the leaves on the right rise above the water into some beatiful light. Very attractive image.
