Having looked at the original, I can see room for an extra small amount at the top that would still leave the development unseen. This would include a portion of trees on the right, and I think it would make all the difference.
To those who would have like to have seen more at the top, I have posted a recropped version here: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=260663 . This was still a good score for me and I am happy with it.
Nice. There are just so many water shots that in order to "Creatively photograph a reflecting surface that is not a mirror" and stand above the rest there has to be some grabber. I will be back to re-evaluate after I look through the rest of the shots.
Two items make this shot for me: the grass in the foreground and the leading line of it. More than just a "flat image." The grass really does it for me. The blues and gold tones are a great complementary color palette.
