Critique Club Comment
I think it would be obvious to anyone who looked at this photo for more than two seconds that you did meet the challenge. I wonder, however, how many people did not look for that long and only saw a line of contiguous trees.
I like how you flipped it so that the reflection would be at the top. The leaf (I think it's a leaf) also helps draw us to the "reflection" idea, but it unfortunately is not in a place within the frame that draws the eye in a flowing fashion, rather it distracts a little (if that makes sense).
I agree with the comments that say that this is too busy. But I do like the detail that you've shown. Perhaps darkening the edges and blurring them a bit, and maybe lightening the center (bottom rightish) area some, would help us to focus on one part of the image rather than all parts. |

| Maybe a little too detailed and busy for the small size it has to be presented in here. The flip almost had me tricked except for the slight ripples on the far left. |

| What a perfectly still day this must have been! There's a bit too much going on I think, but you certainly have met the challenge. This might be a nice texture overlay. |
