Nightfall on the Lake

Can't add anything that others haven't said. I'm guilty of giving you a 5 for this. I like the image, it's a nice evening shot, but as Lydia said, there's no definable subject and the trees do give the appearance of the horizon not being completely level. To me there was nothing really wrong with the image, but it just didn't grab me.

I'm guilty of giving it a 5. I can't add any further insight other than to repeat what others have said. The subject isn't particularly interesting to me. If you were closer and we could see what the fishermen were doing, maybe it would have held my interest for longer. The border doesn't add anything, but I don't find it annoying. I'm almost certain you have more interesting images in your collection from 2016 :)

Helsinki. On a lovely January day. After 10 yrs living there I really never got used to that weather. And I don't miss it at all.

I live this Barbara, but do agree it may have been worth cropping.

beautiful nature still life, but not sure it's the best subject matter for a 30 second exposure.
