nice colors, the thing about reflections though is you always want to crop in whatever the main subject matter is. i can see what you were trying to capture but because of the many ripples it take alot out of the potential.
I love the colors, you're so lucky to have such nice colors at fall where you live.
your exposure is nicely captured and the eye tends to follow the bottom portion of your picture which is ok but the upper portion of the picture is so destroyed with that many ripples that its really just the lower portion that works. like i've suggested before, perhaps cropping in the real part of the reflection would have helped your entry score higher..
How clever, to use the parts of the water that are shimmering and those that are not, to create your composition. With these lovely pastel colours, this gives it an "impressionist" feel. Great photo.
The lower 1/3 is great. Very powerfull. Great reds.
But the upper 2/3 of the frame totaly ruined it all. There is nothing interesting up there.
I don't know what is down there (lower) but I'd go for it no matter what :-)
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.
