Description
New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest is a land of subtle beauty. Within its nooks and crannies, the towering granite mountains hold many secrets which they reveal to those with a passion and reverence for nature. The perfectly still waters on the serene Red Eagle pond made for stunning reflections of the brilliant autumn foliage display.
When I came upon this picturesque setting the tranquility and peacefulness had a grip on me. Looking across at the opposite shore of the pond the riot of fall color was all too obvious. I was not however seeking the obvious. I was looking to capture the very spirit and essence of this beautiful location. The tranquil surface of the pond was as smooth as a mirror soaking in the mosaic of colors from the forest surrounding me.

I like the composition showing mostly the water and reflections and only a touch of the actual scene.
Laurie Search
What a beautiful composition, Thomas!! Love those lily pads in the foreground especially!! :)))fv
Kathleen Scanlan
Wonderful capture, especially with the lily pads at the bottom of the photo. Instead of the water just running off, the pads give it a little more depth as I can see the stem of one of them in the water.

Thanks Kathleen. I really felt the same as your words suggest, the Lily pads really provided depth and importantly a place for the eye to "bounce" off while exploring the scene.
