Color changes on the lake

Comment by PHOTOKID:
This photo has some really nice appeal to it, it is a good start. It has a good capture of a relfection of the sky in the water and some autumnal color changing for some good interest.

One of the things that grabs me on your shot is the horizon seems as though it is tilted to the left a bit. Fixing this would make it stronger overall. The other thing I notice is the brightness of the rocks in the foreground, my eye is brought to these first and back to them as they are the brightest thing in your photo. The eye is brought to you highlights and will continuously be drawn to them, perhaps limiting the overall effect of the photo.

I am not voting just commenting, Hope you find this helpful.

I like it but I think a less busy, or more out of focus, background would have helped. Perhaps using slow shutter speed and panning, could have worked if you wished to convey the feeling of speed? This is a subject I have seen portrayed quite effectively using a frontal, pretty low on the ground angle, which allows showing more of their faces. Another angle that I think would work very well would be from an elevated spot, particularly if you have side lighting and an interesting pavement.

bit lost, increased DOF would have made me like it more, and its over bright on the reds

I've always liked strong diagonals... colors seem a little muted
