 The lens reflex in front of the castle is a bit distracting, but I liked the reflections of the sun in the water.

Wanted to try a not so common format for this one.

Mainly cropped and resized.

Welcome from the critique club!

Composition on this picture is okay. Moving to the left or right may have been a bit stronger.

Colors are fairly well saturated. A bit more saturation may have been nice but that's debatable.

Exposure is alright. I bit bright in places (which is actually a neat effect here) but also dark in the shadows (especially the trees). Hard lighting conditions to expose well for though. If possible I would have used a lower ISO.

There is some sensor dust in the image that could have been removed from the sky.

Focus is okay but its really hard to tell. The focus seems to have been on the water close to the photographer. Aside from the water, the other elements in the shot seem a touch soft.

The challenge: A fairly unique approach to the challenge. (Not a lot of water shots that I recall). A little different angle would have made this more notable I think.

Overall: Pretty good job especially consider the tough lighting conditions

The building seems to be tilting to the right. I think if you had waited until sunset or later the light would have been much more complimentary.

Could have been a very dramatic shot if the sun was coming up behind the building. Nice picture though.
