Welcome from the critique club!
Composition on this picture is okay. Moving to the left or right may have been a bit stronger.
Colors are fairly well saturated. A bit more saturation may have been nice but that's debatable.
Exposure is alright. I bit bright in places (which is actually a neat effect here) but also dark in the shadows (especially the trees). Hard lighting conditions to expose well for though. If possible I would have used a lower ISO.
There is some sensor dust in the image that could have been removed from the sky.
Focus is okay but its really hard to tell. The focus seems to have been on the water close to the photographer. Aside from the water, the other elements in the shot seem a touch soft.
The challenge: A fairly unique approach to the challenge. (Not a lot of water shots that I recall). A little different angle would have made this more notable I think.
Overall: Pretty good job especially consider the tough lighting conditions |
