Greetings from the Critique Club

One of the fun things about the Critique Club is that when I push the button, I never know what image is going to come up on the screen. When I saw this one, it was an immediate "ohhh! Nice."

I very much like the contrast between the blue sky reflection and the green trees & floating stuff. Yes, some of your comments say the blue is a little over the top, and perhaps it is. Nevertheless, the contrast is pleasing.

The two thoughts I have on this:

First - Border patrol. The bits of branches to the lower left and right and the 1/8th of a yellow leaf at the bottom work against this nice image. If you could try for a slightly different angle, it would help a good deal.

Then - compositionally, your image is very nearly half 'n half blue and green. It's tough for a viewer to decide which is more important to look at. (do you want to emphasize the tree/shoreline, or the blue sky?) So, usually, after a brief struggle, the viewer just moves on. Not what you want to have happen.

I enjoyed looking at your image and wish you continued success at DPC. You're doing fine.

the reflection really holds its own in this photo!

The blue looks overly saturated and there's no real focus of interest in this image.

Nice. There are just so many water shots that in order to "Creatively photograph a reflecting surface that is not a mirror" and stand above the rest there has to be some grabber. I will be back to re-evaluate after I look through the rest of the shots.

Very good water reflection, is this part of Monet's water lily series?
Not sure about the title, read 'Fragrant' and thought of reflections off the sewage plant. Perhaps lost in translation

Nice, a little grainy but I almost think it adds to the picture instead of detracting.

The image looks cluttered....too many things in the frame..IF i had the option I would take out either the tree or the floating plants in the pond
