Thanks, guys! Should be prettier tonight now that we have snow on the ground. Might head back over there to check it out.

Hey John, good shot! It looks like it might be tilting just a tad to the right. Or maybe I am just lopsided. Don't answer that! Also was this handheld? I noticed it was shot at 1600 ISO with a shutter speed of 160 at wide open. I think the water would have been better if it was taken at a longer shutter speed (maybe 1 sec). Also an ISO no more than 200 on a tripod. But of course you would have had to have a tripod with you. Still a great shot!

Thanks, Shawn. This was a "grab" shot made just before leaving to come home. I agree that a tripod would have made for a better shot, but I had met a friend for dinner and hadn't even planned on making any pictures. Just happened to have my camera with me. As for the tilt, I think it's an optical illusion. I checked it in PS and it shows to be level.
