 I took this during the Rule of Thirds challenge but decided not to use it. The light was just excellent.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

THere are a couple of things I really like about this image. I like the reflection, the clouds you caught are very nice, the light is very nice and the colors in general are good too.

But my main issue with the image is the horizon. It is so tilted that I can feel it. It kind of messes with my eyes. I think that if you had corrected this one issue you would have scored a good bit higher. You have a very pretty location but the tilt just overpowers it.

You have some very nice images in your portfolio. And your photoshopping skills are getting better. Keep up the hard work and I look forward to seeing yoru future entries!

this is a cool shot, I like the reflections of the clouds in particular, I just wish the horizon had been level as it ruins the whole picture IMO.

Talk about a mirror:) I think the exporsure is pretty good in this, my only complaint is I would like to see another subject in here to give me something else to draw my eyes too.
