Stunning: both rich and subtle.The structure of this picture rests on the white/whitish verticals of the tree trunks and their reflexions. The flow of orangy red from left to right seems to enhance this structure. I'm not too sure of the topmost line of sky: what about cropping it just down to where the first wisps of cloud appear in the centre?

Stunning composition, but I'm stymied as to how the back of the leaf could be reflected.

Cambell's Lighthouse

Comment:
Interesting composition with the red twigs(?) in the lower left balancing the red and white of the lighthouse in the upper right, and the subtle browns of the water and denuded woods. Like the texture of the woods and the strong verticals of the reflexions.

Reflections at Dusk

Very pleasing colour balances, and the bare trees to the left are expressive; I'm just not sure if the photo is balances side to side.

Sensuous. Mr. Mallard's shiny luminous/metallic round head vis a vis the oily round swirl of red gold reflection...

Some very nice things happening with the leaf reflections in the background, and the pelican(?) is nicely situated. Would be nice if the bright green verticals above his head and below the curve of his neck where edited out plus the round blob thing and the unfocused bright vertical. Unusual to get such a pleasing background for a stately subject. (The thumbnail gives no indication of the richness of this picture).

Overall light abnd darks are good. Wish reflected object were more interesting, though the subtle colouring of the same is good

The Korean Memorial
by LifeLost

Comment:
Most interesting. Graininess, supersaturation, outsized foot and the wealth of interwoven reflections are somehow all of a piece. And now that it's over, let me say this was The most interesting and provocative of all the submissions. (Possibly the face and hand and socks are 'blown' but this is photography not drawing, not painting, not sculpting).
