 Sunset at Crown Hill Lake. Shot on an ISO that was way too high, but it turned out well.

Very, very subtle...and you know how that goes for scoring. It's a great photo...peaceful & calming. FWIW I think most of the "constructive criticisms" offered are off-base. Anyways...nicely done!

...oh, and I love how you made Lakewood/Applewood disappear!

what a pretty quiet photo - the shimmering water and the glow in the sky are really well captured

the strong horizonal lines cutting across the photo really make it static. It would be nice to have something that helps move the viewer into the sky. The foreground could also use something to help it out.

Not a whole lot going on here I think becayse it looks like you really didn't touch the colors too much.

nice but, maybe a bit less of the bottom to keep the horizon from cutting the picture in half.

pretty , but i think it could benefit from using a tele and bring the mountains more forward. the light makes some nice forms on them.
