With both the sun and my batteries dieing, I had little time to take the shot. I do hope you like it, as I am sure that every other person who lives within 50 miles of a lake will submit a shot perticularly simmular to it. : )
Technical: I rotated, cropped, adjusted the levels, Hue/sat, and unsharp mask.

I really like the B&W turning into color trees and reflection and am glad you left sky white.
I think shooting at a lower to the ground level may have worked a bit better and perhaps without the bench. Otherwise this is an excellent idea. "8"
Great composition and exposure on this shot. You've really captured the fall colors well and the sinking dock really helps to emphasize the reflectiveness of the water.
The elements are great in this pic but the tones distracts me quite lot. A dock seem to be black and white and the pictoresque trees behind over saturated. Someone to sit on bench and re-adjustment to the colours and this would be ready to put to the wall.
beautiful composition but i personally don't like the desat. I would prefer it with the foreground eitherin ful colour or possibly a cool brown/sepia tone
well done on finding the scene
