| Very beautiful colors!! I know the land line falls along thirds, but I think I would have preferred a bit more space above the tree in the center. |

| I like this but I wonder what it would have looked like in portrait with the red tree just right or left of center. |

This must be a breathtaking scene in person. I love the colors in your image, but I want to point out a few things that I don't think are working well and how you might improve them. Of course, I'm not an expert so you can ignore my babbling. ;)
The shoreline cuts your image into two distinct halves...two halves are much less dynamic than thirds, which is why there is a rule of thirds. Rules can always be broken, and sometimes they work when broken, but I think in this case it works against you. The tops of the trees are cut off in the top half, and my eyes keep seeking upwards to find them. The smaller tree in the center is, well...in the center, which kind of draws the eye in and then you stop looking at anything else because therey's nothing around it to lead your eyes to anywhere else. There is a tree trunk on the top left corner jutting out at an angle that appears to come from nowhere, and is a distraction without adding anything to the shot.
I'd go back to this location, move to where the little red tree is more on the left, and shoot wider. Play with different focal lengths and then with different crops back at home. I think you'll see a difference in how the image can move you. Good luck in the challenge! :) |

| Beautiful colors and reflection. I wish I could see more of the top of this scene. |

| Good choice of composition and colors. The one thing I think that could really improve this image is a different (or additional crop). Take out the tree trunk on the left border and then horizontally trim some more of the lake. There is too much negative space or space where the relfection is too faint to really work for the photo in the bottom 10-20% of the image. It would make the photo a much more elongated image, but I think it would balance the land mass versus the lake. 5. |

| Very Nice. It would have scored higher if you hadn't cropped the top of the center tree so'd have the complete reflection and tree. |

| Wonderful colours and reflections, but the horizon is tilted, unfortunately. |

| Nice colors, the trunk on the left and blue sky reflection distract/draw attention somehow.I would try to crop it off and I would straight the water line. |

beautiful colors! only thing is the tree is somewhat too centrally composed, and the horizon is not level at all...seems the right side is higher than the left. great job though. if you would have put the top of the water at the bottom third line, and had the top 2/3 of the image being the wooded area.

| good colors. I like the reflection effect. You could enchance this shot by centering and leveling the shore line. This would increase the effect of the refection by giving and equal perspective on both sides. |
