The color treatment in this image is very attractive - it's understated without being underdone or looking washed out. The elements of this picture hold together well; the lake is well placed, as is the tree in the lower right foreground.
I gave this a 6 during the challenge - and I would have given it higher marks if it were just a bit sharper. May I suggest another pass of USM at, say, 0.4 radius, 70%, 0 threshold? I'd really be interested in seeing this touched up just a bit.
edit- I just threw this into photoshop myself to see what'd happen if I applied my own suggestion. What I wound up with was duplicating the image layer, and using 0.4, 100%, 0 threshold, and then masking off the sky and the tree in the LL. The difference is subtle but IMO significant.

| Focus is the main issue here. The close bush is the only thing in focus. There is alittle noise in the sky. I do like the composition of this image. |

Very soft focus and the clouds have midtones (reddish/purplish noise) coming through. I think your composition is all wrong because the only thing is sharp focus is the bush on the right. The border adds nothing but another distraction to the photo.
Such a lovely site but technically, this could have been a lot better. |

| As a rule it is very difficult to combine sky and land without special filters and get a good photo. In this picture the camera has taken the exposure from the light sky and that is why the land (which is more interesting) has become too dark. I would have concentrated on land and made a panoramic pic with a sky of only 1/5 of the present. This is a great sight! |

| For me, the bush in the foreground disrupts the composition, and the rest seems a little too noise reduced. |

| There's a very distinctive "feel" to this shot. I'm not sure what it is (gaussian blur?) but I do like it. |
