tucancrComment by ambaker: Critique Club Review:
Focus and depth of field are good, though the palm to the left on the far side of the lake looks a bit soft. Part of your image is silhouetted, but at the same time the tree on the left you've used to frame the picture, looks almost as if it was lit by a fill flash.
I like the clouds in the sky, and the colors on the water are good. But at the same time, the sunny areas are burned out and featureless.
I would really like this picture best, if the small silhouetted tree in the center were gone, because it competes with the shore detail on the far side of the lake, and the framing tree on the left were fully silhouetted. Unfortunately we cannot help where trees choose to grow, and cutting down trees in a park can cause much trouble for the photographer.
Speaking of frames, it looks as if you added a frame, and then cropped the picture. There is a line down the left side of the picture, and a thicker one across the bottom. I'm not sure how this came about, but checking for things like this will also help boost your scores.
I like your choice of subject, and overall it is a pretty picture. I hope to see more of your work in the future.
