This time with the polarizer twisted around to minimize the surface reflections. You get a completely different feel to the photo.

I like this one better. I think the detail in the water is great, it has a gentler feel about it. I like it a lot.

It is however, not the best photo of the session. I'll upload that one shortly :)

If there was some waterblur involved i'd probably agree, but I like the other (even with distractions).

On another note, do you like the sigma 10-20mm? I've been craving for that ultra-wide distorted perspective option in my kit (not fisheye). I think I could really find some great uses and it would suit my style. 17mm on a cropped sensor just doesn't do it. I'd been thinking of the 10-22 ef-s... but it's mighty expensive. I'm still on bread and water rations for having the kit that I do...

There is some water movement, although not particularly noticeable. The streaks on the surface are bubble/foam trails.

As for the 10-20, it's a fabulous lens. Excellent colour and contrast, a solid build, very comparable to the Canon and at half the price. It's very fun to play with, but is also great as a rectilinear landscape lens.

Always very insteresting to compare two different points of view of the same scene.
I prefer this one, not only because I find the color under the water really great, but also because it kept the eye in the center of the picture, while with the other one, it quite slipt away, sliding along the reflections

Thanks. You're right, coming back to these images after several months, it's easy to see this is the more pleasing photo.
