Greetings from the Critique Club!
You certainly put a lot of work into this image! Love the solidity of the tower and the softness of the willows around it. The long exposure is something else, it certainly seems to have given the water an unusual sheen, almost metallic to my eye. Nice comp and good lighting, I might have tried to isolate the tower a bit more by cloning out some of the trees behind it to the left, to accentuate the 'rook' look.
This site can be funny when it comes to shots like this. Too much pp can turn voters off, yet it works very well for this instance. Just wondering if a simple Inversion would have helped at all, maybe cut down a little on the adjustments of contrast curves?
Overall nice work, I look forward to seeing more from you.
Feel free to PM me,
