I use a Canon EOS 400 D
Practising with my new 100-400mm zoom lens.
Again I’ve removed the lake and added the flood filter for the reflection

This is awesome. What a great shot and the changed effect kicks it up several notches, if you know what I mean! I am unfamilar with a flood filter (is that part of any specific software program?) Great Work!
