I was tossing back and forth between 7 and 8.....

Then I noticed that you had chopped off the top of the tree. :(

6. :) :(

What aperture were you at? I'm guessing you knocked it wayyyy down because you didn't have an ND filter handy? -- I know this because I can see every speck of dust on your sensor - and you've got plenty of dust on that sensor.

Outside of that issue, you've got some very strange color things going on, and a generally overprocessed feeling to the image... 5(E) for great effort.

Plastic Fantastic! (ok, not really, this isn't a bad shot, but the denoise should have been used a bit more sparingly...)

Sitting Amongst the Clouds

Comment:
Two things here that are just killing the image:

1. Reflections are always darker than the sky.

2. Clouds should not be pink.

An interesting subject though... Good choice there.

It's a shame the subject is looking out of the frame, instead of into it. It's not a bad slice of life, but the composition just doesn't work for me on this image. (and more bokeh would have been good, as it is, the background looks a touch cluttered..) 6 for creative effort and reasonable technical aspects.

Nice BIF. Overall this feels a little soft, it could be the processing, or the shot itself, but it's just lacking that crispness that makes a shot really great. Still, a good composition, and nice subject.. 7.

If you had framed or cropped this a bit more cautiously, and corrected the distortion I would have totally given this an 8...
