Good choice of composition and colors. The one thing I think that could really improve this image is a different (or additional crop). Take out the tree trunk on the left border and then horizontally trim some more of the lake. There is too much negative space or space where the relfection is too faint to really work for the photo in the bottom 10-20% of the image. It would make the photo a much more elongated image, but I think it would balance the land mass versus the lake. 5.

The subject is a little too far away to connect with.

Back to comment: Hard to count this as a portrait but since there is a person in it, I'll give you the minimum passing grade. As for the image itself, it could use a bit of sharpening to bring out the details and just a bit more pop to the colors via post processing with levels or curves.

Very Nice. It would have scored higher if you hadn't cropped the top of the center tree so'd have the complete reflection and tree.

Wonderful colours and reflections, but the horizon is tilted, unfortunately.

This is a landscape...with a very small person in it. DNMC in my opinion.

Nice colors, the trunk on the left and blue sky reflection distract/draw attention somehow.I would try to crop it off and I would straight the water line.

beautiful colors! only thing is the tree is somewhat too centrally composed, and the horizon is not level at all...seems the right side is higher than the left. great job though. if you would have put the top of the water at the bottom third line, and had the top 2/3 of the image being the wooded area.

good colors. I like the reflection effect. You could enchance this shot by centering and leveling the shore line. This would increase the effect of the refection by giving and equal perspective on both sides.
