Wonderful photograph! I really like the water level being so low, it gives much more depth.

Great capture of the reflections. Good eye.

wow very nice!!! Can you explain your "stacked" thing? I'm a bit confused :/

No probs author, I will look into the star trail thing. Thanx.

The sbs is almost simply putting the stages of your work into photo form. In this case, maybe a screen shot or two of the images in the program and some blurb. Your description here should help us though......

author, this is a great image. would you be able to put an sbs, so we can see how you achieved it. I for one, have never played with stacking images like this, I think it would be a good one for us to see.....

Efforts have paid ! It's really a great shot !
We also thank your dogs to be wise !

Hmmmmm.... now where have I seen this before? lol, Awesome job Author!

Great shot. could you tell us how long was the timepause ?

Congrats

I understand what you mean. In fact, I didn't want to crop mine more either I had already cropped the picture as a whole 40% but they wanted me to crop more because the actual "focal point" or subject wasn't cropped. I love this photo and I'm sure it'll do great just because the quality and everything about it is awesome. Who knows what is wanted here sometimes some get flagged and removed even though others don't that fall under the same situation. Luck of the draw I guess

Even though I can't see the rest of the photo, I am supposing that no matter what, this kids face would be the subject, so really 40 % of this kids face should be cropped. I had mine removed too and had to fix it and I realized afterward what was meant by cropping the subject. I think what the mods are looking for is cropping 40% of the subject or focal point.

This is a nice shot, but not a close crop (people or otherwise). The cop-out comment was directed towards the mods, not the entrants - sorry if i ruffled some feathers

Cheers! Great shot!

the eyes are pretty cool .. extremely cool

It's a very nice shot... but allowing "head shots" as a close crop is a cop out

Super spectacular author!!!!! Love it.

WOW! Very cool, great capture, beautiful lighting!

great, it's a lovely photo.

After reconsideration head shots will be allowed as being part of the body.

It is not acceptable to post a head shot and say the whole body is the subject, in this case the head is the subject and you'll have to show maximum 60% of the head.
