Very nice.

Can you post pre processed pics with EXIF data?

 

[Gerries]

Hi,

I will post the 2 photos on flickr shortly, you take the EXIF data from there. This was taken using my D300 and 17-55 mm, photos are not edited or processed.
I was lucky to have 2 boats there, else the photos will be quite boring.

My next reservoir will be .... any recommendations?

Regards,
Gerries

Tips! Use spot metering, and try your luck on pointing the single AF sensor on either half dark, half light items. If you use Matrix, you might get underexposed photos.

Did you use any filters? CPL? GND?

Looks like a CPL may have been used, but then again the picture mode was set to Vivid +1. Nice blue colours in these shots
When shots are resized like these, they lose their sharpness. Hence why I usually resize/sharpen in PS before uploading to flickr.
I just saved your pic and did sharpening in PS, makes a big difference
