7 - Very nice scene. Hardly notice the people there. Really like the tree elements here, especially the blossom upper right corner. Wonder about a variation in cropping/composition, mainly to eliminate the people on the left, which would obviously mean losing that tree trunk as well, however bringing the building edge to the left of frame might have given this a little extra, not sure - but maybe just 'another' image, if that makes sense.

I like the atmostphere in this shot. Also like how the expanse of water in the front pulls you right into the image. Nice use of tone.

I like the black and white - gives it an old postcard type of feeling, but I would like to see the comparison in color.

Lots of nice detail in this. The more I look, the more people I see! The movement on the water is a great touch too. The bare tree is the star of the show though.
