Very Nice colors on the water, great exposure with the clouds going from light to dark either leading the eye in or helping to exit the photo.(depending on the viewer) Not that I would change anything, but it would be neat to see what this photo would have looked like with a small crop of the upper dark clouds at the top of the picture to get rid of some of the grain shown by them. Overall I would have given it probably an 8.
This is a really pretty image. Looking at the image, without the title, I could have still guessed the D and L words. Very nice color. I like the beams of light coming off the sun. The dark upper half really puts some balance to the photo. I like how there are ripples in the lake creating the reflection. I don't think this would have the same effect with a flat reflection. Deffinately adds that little something to make it different and pleasing to look at. Focus and clarity seem really good, thought this does kind of seem a little abstractish, it's still very much a sun and lake photo. I like it. I also like how you chose to seperate the photo with the larger upper half and smaller lower half. This creates a nice seperation of the subject. Having the horizon in the center of the photo just wouldn't work here. Great choices, great color, great image. I don't think there is anything I would change here. ~Heather~
The reflection of the sun in the water appears almost brighter than the real sun .That's why I wonder how much is real and how much is edited. Either way it is awesome, but almost overwhelming.
