Great job! A very nice subject matter, and it had a lot of potential, however, the colors in this seem a little washed out. I do appreciate you meeting the challenge without leaving me to have to figure out how you met the theme.
Same spot but at a different time of the day (dusk or dawn) and this would have been fantastic. As is it lasks contrast, colours are washed out and highlights are blown. A Grad ND filter would help with the horizon here.
I don't know...looks maybe just a little over-exposed...and...that stump is freaking me out. It looks like it's gonna start crawling towards me if I move to suddenly!
