Beautiful clear water makes a great pallate for the sky. The rock adds just enough surface texture to keep the whole thing from being boring. I love the soft colors in the image. A couple of the glass bits below the surface distract me from the overall placidness of everything. Might be worth playing around with clone to eliminate em. 8

Nicely composed photograph, with good detail and not over-saturated. Sometimes simplicity is better as in this case with the single rock and it's placement here. ((8))

This looked better in the thumbnail - I think it would benefit from some post processing - the rock is so dark and the sky is so pale - they seem to compete with eachother rather than work together. I like that the rock is hard/harsh and the sky is soft. I like the way it seems to be floating. Would it look better or worse if the colors of the sky were enhanced? I wonder/

Nice and clean composition. Reflection off the water surface of the sky is interesting enough to hold one's attention, but ultimately it is not my cup of tea.

I like how your picture has layers- the lake bottom, the rock, and the sky. It seems almost 3D. Very nice capture.

I am a sucker for reflections and I like the end result. Simple, effective and to my liking.

This is really serene, I like it a lot. It would be better if the water was a little deeper and you couldnt see the bottom, but thats not really something you have a lot of control over. 7.

Nicely understated picture. I think it would benefit from somewhat higher contrast between the rock and that water.
