gotta go into the faves... I love all the elements of the composition and how they compliment each other and the tiny spaces in between them. I can tell by looking that you took care to make this happen. Underrated, IMO, even for a free study, but would like to maybe see how it would look with more contrast.
Minimalist imagery is always appreciated. A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.
I really enjoy this picture, but I think it may have looked better without the boat. Besides that though great job. The tree is quite interesting and the sky in the distance really make this picture flow better.
