Thanks for all the nice comments, best wishes to all.

 

This must be the third time I've photographed this tree/view. I think this is the best so far. This is not HDR, the light was just perfect and worth getting up at 4.30am. I used a graduated filter along with a B+W polariser to get the sky bluer and the water clear, the focus point is around a third of the way into the frame which gave a good sharp focus all the way across the image. I took 2 images longways in portrait aspect at f13 / 0.1 sec. and stitched them together in Photshop Elements.

 

I used a Nikon D700 on a tripod with a Nikon 35-700 f/2.8, As its 35mm at its widest it required 2 images as per above but Elements did a great job of a seamless stitch.
