Nice idea, but the technicals don't seems so good. I like the peaceful reflections on the water, but the girl and dock seem somewhat blurry and their reflection seem oversaturated. 5

The tones are beautiful. The crop on the otherhand looks awkward. The stuff on the left of the frame is distracting but if you cropped in closer the girl would be too close to the edge of the frame. I wonder if you could have cloned out the distracting elements.

I find myself wanthing to see more dock. This looks almost as though it should be in the negative space challenge.

Seems a bit oof to me. I like the composition and the somber mood.

subject looks a bit washed out

Nice composition, unfortunately the quality lets this down. Try getting nearer the subject, so you don't need to crop so much out

Wish the crop was tighter on the left side. There is something there on the dock which i find myself wanting to look at. It is taking my eye away from the subject.

The focus seems a bit off and whatever that is sticking out on the left is a bit distracting.

A little too blown out and lacking detail. Nice idea though.

that thing enering the left-hand side of the frame is ruining this shot. Should have been cropped...

remember "border patrol" before you snap the shutter will help avoid distractions like the boat on the L mid-frame
the processing looks a bit heavy on color saturation too
