Oh my, oh my... Another most excellent shot by the hands of this photographer. What can I really say that the picture doesn't already do itself? Not much really :) O.k., one thingie perhaps somewhat out of the ordinary: I love the very slightly rimpled reflection. I think this way the shot actually looks nicer than when the water would have been dead calm. A perfectly calm reflection would have been, perhaps, somewhat boring here, I'm quite positive I like the shot better the way it is now; it adds play.

I agree with the water comment. Another great calendar shot - go for all four seasons!

Very nice shot - I like the colors in teh water better than the "real" colors.

Okay, I surrender. This has a certain person stamped all over it... I have a niggle, though! Why are there always pesky power lines in the background? They're all over the place in my neck of the woods. This is a great shot, though.

The most marketable of the bunch. Proceed immediately to the business office of this housing development and start negotiating...

hmmm, i wonder who has a penchant for covered bridges, uses that particular set up often, and hardly makes a photograph that isn't top notch (but what have we here? Sensia?? what happend to Portra160VC? K64?). most things have been said already: the reflections are awesome, the colours are awesome. this is one shot that needs to be projected for visual punch. and as Chuck said, get a hi-res scan (I assume the PhotoCD one will do), clone out the power lines, and market this!
