This image makes light do stuff!
I'm surprised that no one has made any comments since the challenge ended. I didn't vote, but I did like this shot a lot while browsing thru the challenge images.
There is a nice "dragon" heading down the left edge of the reflected buildings.

Bank Shot, Side Rail

Comment:
I see that you were thinking about the ball reflecting off the rail as a reflection. Good idea, but it didn't reflect in the voting, as most voters were looking for light reflections, and missed the reflection connection. : ) for being a thinker!

Good shot at a difficult subject. I would have liked to see the whole marble in the reflection. Thank you for the lighting info, which may help me someday with a difficult shot.

Beautiful and simple image. I like that I can see the yellow foot under the water in this. Perfect exposure.
ETA ; I feel that this would have scored better if the bird had been positioned to be moving into instead of out of the image. That's not always possible with moving live animals. Still an beautiful image.

Congrats! You mentioned the "brown" sky. Try tungsten white balance some time for city shots at night.
I like it just as you posted it. The X angle works.

This is beautiful, but certainly looks cold. It's magic how a photograph can make a tough environment look so sweet and inviting. The falling snow flakes give the shot a post card sort of look.
It's going to be 85 F here this afternoon. I plan to go shoot my grandson's soccer game.

That is a very rural looking scene. The way the posts frame the clothes line is good, and it is so odd to see laundry out in the winter time with snow and ice everywhere.

Boardwalk

I like the way the closest trees have curves that echo the curves in the walkway. That is a very nice composition element. I also like the way the light is coming thru the trees in this shot. It makes a pattern like foot steps on the boards.
I think that if time allows, I would try to shoot early or late in a place like this as well as mid day. The light under trees gets very even, smooth and green at dusk and dawn, and it makes details of the textures of bark and leaves stand out in photos.
