The first thing I sense when I look at this is serenity. A nice warmth comes over me. The colors and composition are beautiful. Only recommendation would have been to get the focus sharper as it is a bit too soft in my opinion.

A strong shot otherwise, but maybe the gloomy dark and less focused foreground should be removed.

Now that's just amazing. The lone branch really makes it. If it wasn't there, the shot would be nothing

Like the color of the water. There are some dots that look like dust on sensor on sky...? Overall nice shot.

I would have liked to have seen the near shore cropped out. I think it distracts from an otherwise very nice image. Still, a 6.

Perfect framing of the subject. Gorgeous exposure and colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely...would like a bit more saturation, and you've got some sensor boogies on there, but lovely anyway. :)

The smiplicity of this is nice. The warm tones with the silhouette are a nice contrast. Very serene. I'd crop out all of the part in the foreground and begin the shot at the end of the tree's reflection.

Beautiful image. Only distractions are what appear to be dust blobs on your sensor.
