Two questions are bothering me:

1) Why are the trees on sea-level are illuminated by the sun and the trees along the waterfront are not?
2) What's the meaning of the prominent stick in the foreground.

Todd, I like it. The red trees are interesting. I like the stick in the water. It gives me an indication of where the sun is. It's obviously off to the right and back a bit, which should answer Harald's question. You can see light high on the bluffs, but no direct sunlight farther down. Obviously the angle of the sun explains why the trees in the water stand out. The trees along the shore are blocked from the sun by the bluffs.

Yes Russ, That is it. I have attached another composition using tele below. Perhaps it will be clearer. When printed larger the first image is easier to understand.

The second one I like better because there is too much in the frame in the first one. However the first one is likeable. In the second the trees stand out better. Any more of the scene? I feel there is a really interesting view that you aren't showing us.

Todd, the red trees are "potentially" very  interesting...but the surrounding landscape/sky isn't...and there is so much of it. I don't think the capture is here...even in cropping. /Brandt

I think the tele is a winner.
I was feeling kind of lost in the first one, not sure what I was looking at, but I get the second one.

The second one really shows us the trees beautifully. The first suffers from the web and the sizes of our screens. I'll bet it looks really fine in a really big print (big enough so that you don't have to hunt for the trees).
