Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hello Tinkie, we meet again *insert evil snicker here* :-)
I like this photo a lot, but would classify it more as a Sunset shot than an OrangeII shot. There is quite a bit of black in the shot and the black border, in my opinion, just makes the image look much smaller than it is. Composition is Ok, and there seems to be a fair bit of light falloff on the upper right.
I can see why you shot at such high settings, but even so there is a bit of softness around the edges of the willow towards to the right. Better to shoot with a lower ISO and faster shutter speed...and yes a tripod would have helped too! And shooting at even a slightly lower POV would have given you a better use of thirds.
As always, take this critique for what it is worth and above all, keep shooting.
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
