Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hiya Wendy, long time no speak!

I have to agree with two of the comments on this shot - the branches are distracting to a beautiful view, though they provide nice shapes to silhouette. The photo does need contrast though the lack gives it a slightly dreamy feeling.

Something else I noticed here - the view is nice, but not spectacular. I think this photo needs a more concrete subject than a nice view into a sorta nice lake. Maybe a canoe or a fisherman. Not sure, but something to add context.

Good luck and happy shooting!

Nice. The number of limbs give it a very busy look that I am not sure I like, but it does not detract from the image.

Looks as if the black level adjustment needs tweaking. Nice composition.

Colors very effective. Wish the sky had more blue however. Has a magical feel to it.
