I like the mist on the water in this shot..or perhaps it's just the movement of the water...but I like it! The colors are very nice. My only gripe is that there isn't one main thing that is the focal point. But it's a very lovely landscape.

Beautiful and mystical shot. I especially like the white glow off the surface of the water. I wish the sky was darker but it's not distracting. 8

Doesn't seem to be a crisp and clear as it could or should be. I do like the soft capture of the water.

Pretty image. I like the mist on the water. The composition is really nice, I like how the shoreline leads the eye to the city.

Good combination of a lighted city area and a moody landscape. Not that common here

THis is a nice image. I really like the angle from which you shot this image. I like the variation of darks seen as well. Nice work.

The feel of this photo is more of early morning or late evening. Otherwise, a more closed aperture could've made the lights more crisp.

Pretty shot--the trees on the left give it a feeling of the city being very far away.
