You probably meant the cows to be your subject but they are too small to be of any significance in the image. In that regard this image would be a big stretch to meet the challenge.

Bird

The bird is positioned well in the frame however I think the image is a little under exposed. The whites seem a little grey.

This is a good idea for a closeup however I feel the bright white area on the far right needs to be cropped off.

First impressions: Lighting is sweet

Exposure: Seems to be bang on. No overly hot spots and nothing seems to be blocked up in the dark areas.

Composition: There are a lot of elements in this image, two primary and a number of secondary ones. To me the hut with the canoes and the reflection are too much in the middle making the image rather static. Because of the angle of the shot, it may be beneficial to crop the image on the right, excluding the cranes.

Impact: The impact in the image is generated by the lighting. I think more impact could be achieved if the hut and reflection was off centre.

Cheers!

Keep shooting.

First Impressions: Good use of leading line

Exposure: Though the bright light in the reflection forms a good leading line, the actual lights are a big distraction. Bright areas always draw the eye. In this case, being overly bright, keeps the viewer from exploring the rest of the photo.

This is a tough situation to remedy straight from the camera. If you expose for the lights then the rest of the image will probably be black or close to it. Use of a highlight/shadow type adjustment in post processing may help remedy the situation somewhat.

Composition: As stated before, good use of a leading line.

Impact: If the actual lights weren't so bright this image could have more impact. Just need to bring out more detail in the shadows.

Cheers!

Keep shooting.
