*Greetings from the Critique Club*
First off, welcome to DPC. It's great to see you getting active right away.
Compositionally, I love what you chose for the foreground. The rocks are interesting and the water lead my eye towards the back of the image. I was not as in love with the back area of the image. I liked the bridge, but the other buildings and details (flags) seemed to distract me a bit. I am also not sure that the large bush/tree sticking out on the right added much to your image. I wonder what a crop off that right side, or a crop off the bottom and right would have done?
Technically I think this is a good image. Your water is gorgeous, really nice. I like the colors in the water and rocks and greenery, but the blue of the sky seems a bit vibrant (but that could just be me). The softness of the clouds seemed to add a bit to the sky being off for me, but since that was a side effect of a longer exposure I'm not sure what an alternative might have been.
Overall this is a good image, I would have been interesting to see what other perspectives might have looked like had you moved the tripod around some. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more of your images.
