I would not have guessed this was St Augustine. It looks like there was a little rain shower not long before you shot this one. It made a great texture for the foreground with this low angle.

Looks like just past the gate at 6 mile about 4:30 PM. Love that place, but I like it in the swamps better with the muck squishing around my boots.
Hey, you didn't get any 1's : )

It looks like you just didn't have enough light and the critter was moving a little, causing the little bit of blur.
This might make a nice B&W if you desat then tweak around with levels and colors to get the little buck out front a bit more.
I still like it a lot, because it just looks totally natural. The extra light on the antlers is a nice touch.

If you shoot this type scene again, try it at f6 or f8 and it will be sharper. At f32, the tiny aperture opening causes diffraction of the light passing through it, making the details in the photo soft.
At a shutter speed of 30 sec, there may have been some movement of the building that you were in which would also contribute to the softness. Shooting at f8, the shutter speed would have been 4 sec to get the same exposure. If you were also shooting through a window, the camera can pick up on haze and "film" on the window that you wouldn't notice by just looking at it.
It's a nice view, and shot from a good location.

The voters hate ducks, except the rubber ones.
That's a bummer about getting the brown. The good part is that it can only go up from here.
Hugs for ya.

That's a very pretty scene. I have no way of knowing how much water you had to work with for this one. If there was enough water surface to get a reflection to the tree tops, it may have made a more interesting shot to keep only the reflection.
The colors in the trees are sweet. I'm wondering if you used a gradient filter to get the reflection to be as bright as the actual scene, or if you did that in processing.

Splendid sharpness, high contrast, and lighting make this very artistic looking.

Awesome expressions, even the little figurehead on the front of the raft!

What a creative approach. It's very minimal, and very cool too. It leads you to think, which is a good thing.
I guess that most of the voters just didn't "get it".
