A good feel to this and I liked your description. For me though the boat is much too big in the frame. IMO more space needed above and to the left so that the boat and reflection are part of the image but not overly dominant.

This is a very lovely image but I agree with Dave's comments that you have treated the boat and reflection equally when perhaps priority given to the boat giving it more space certainly above might have produced something really amazing rather than simply excellent!

Best wishes

I also agree with Dave's comment - this is definitely worth a minor reworking. Love the simplicity and tones.

I'd love to play with this and try different positioning and even toning, it's such a marvellous image.

The old pond;
A frog jumps in —
The sound of the water

RH Blyth's translation of Basho's famous Haiku. I am sure you must know it. (This was the first Haiku I came across).

And one of my all time favourites:

A blind child
guided by his mother,
admires the cherry blossoms

Can you not feel the texture, smell the scent?

I love what you've done here. Combining Haiku with imagery is a great idea, combining two immensely enjoyable creative outlets.

I have added you to my favourites as I hope you will be continuing along your Haiku journey of observation.

Regards, Ken
