In my father's den

In my father's den

Capturing this scene was on my mind for nearly a year. Every time I waIk past this spot I said to myself: "You have to shoot here, this autumn. I waited nearly the entire autumn to get the right conditions. Last monday everything came together: Nice autumn colors, no wind, little bit of mist over the water surface and tranquillity.
I was really glad to get my shot, although the sky was very hazy but luckily the sunrise gave it at least a slight orange tone. Due to the hazy sky my polarizer was off duty for that morning. After processing this images the original file was 90x30cm.
I would appreaciate some thoughts of you guys.
