Such a rewarding glow to the tonality of this gem!

Thanks Walter. Sometimes the variables cooperate: pale bark trees, lots of bounce light off water, overcast day, Tri-X with that famous long toe to the characteristic curve, all add up to the "mother of pearl" tonality. The hard part was coming up with a quirky asymmetric composition to stop the picture sliding off into the land of bland.
