Pretty shot, but I like the water part much more than the upper half of the photo, it seems too blurry. I know it would have also cropped out at least one tree trunk, but this might have been better with just the water part, but that's just my opinion. 7 Swash
The reflection is very nice. It might look nice without the tree trunk on the left. The one on the right has some interest to it with the bark pattern, but the one on the left seems too dark and just "stops" the scene. The limbs hanging down and to the left would, to me anyhow, would give the sense that the scene continues.
Meets the Challenge: Yes Artistic Merit (Would I print/frame/hang it?): 3 Creativity (Did a lot of thought go into this photo?): 4 Technical (Focus/DOF/Lighting/Etc): 2 Composition (Subject well-positioned and framed): 5 WOW Factor (Is the photo interesting?): 3
Score: 3 - setzler
Note: I think that trees on the edge should either be in or out of the frame rather than splitting them on the edges... Your focus here is very weak also...
Opportunity for a beautifull reflection, but : composition not very good, branches are in the way, shoreline exactly in the middle, overexposed. Should have looked further.
I think that this shot has a lot of potential. The focus seems to be a bit soft on the far side of the river. Maybe being a little close to the ground would help? That way you could get the full reflection in the photo (the whole tree). Keep up the good work! - JB
