The first thing that strikes me about this photo is the small size. Remeber that you are allowed a maximum of 640 pixels. Utilizing this size will give the viewer a better look at your photo.
You captured such wonderful colors in the sky and reflecting in the water. Good lighting as well.
My eyes stay focused on the rock in the center. Sometimes I find keeping the main focal point a bit more off center it adds interest for me. Also, consider perhaps rotating your horizon just a bit as it appears to be running downhill.
Overall, nicely done. Had this indeed been larger, I think it would have scored higher with the voters. You have a keen eye and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I apologize ahead of time, but I am going to be blunt. This photo shows great potential on your part toward becoming a good photographer (or better). The composition is nice, and is definately something I would expect to see on a greeting card. However... (and I know others are going to say this) I would like to SEE the photo - this one is too small! Your horizon is slightly off (by a couple of degrees). The purply-pink cast to the photo adds nothing; it simply looks as though it's been over-processed, possibly to hide other technical flaws. There seems to be a lot of detail lost in the shadow of the rocks, and there's something lurking in the water on the left side of the photo that I can't make out (and is therefore distracting). This shot could be so much better, and I think you probably have the ability to make it so - you certainly seem to have an 'eye' for what looks good.
WAY too small (you're gonna hear that alot). There is a tutorial on resizing images somewhere on the site. Also the color looks tweaked a bit too much. Too bad, cuz this looked like it had great potential. Keep trying! Good luck.
always (ALWAYS) upload an image that has either the width or height of 640px - you will always (ALWAYS) get marked down no matter how good your shot is...
