I took this yesterday when we visitied one of the local lakes. This is my son's first time to see this large of a lake. I thought the photo turned out kinda neat with the water taking up much of the frame. He stopped and just stared out at the lake in total amazement.
Let me know what you think.

I suggest cropping so that the girl is off-center and you've eliminated about half the expanse of water. You'll still have a strong statement but more focus will be on the toddler.
The river/lake could have looked better if U had taken this shot from a lower angle. What I mean to say is that now the Water looks like the sky .. the depth of the water body cannot be seen. So if U took this shot from a lower angle maybe the depth could be seen.
Great pic. Even without seeing her face, you can just tell her mouth is open in amazement. I think you would be ok with about 1/3 less lake, but this is still a 10.
