Gorgeous, and I would say a potential ribbon for you.

Although this is an absolutely fantastic image with wonderful light and water, I feel this may not be looking far enough 'the other way' from the sun. Sorry but I took a point off for that. I apologise if I was wrong.

I feel you may get pinged by a few diehard rules police who believe that to look the other way from a sunset is to look in the opposite direction. You’re not looking at the sunset so that’s enough for me. I like the silhouetted light on the poles and the colours in the clouds. The snow on the mountains and the blue in the clouds gives the whole image a nice cool feel. The front pole with the ropes feels a little too closely cropped at the bottom but that may not have been avoidable. Overall quite nice – good luck.

Well, the sun is not at your back but it is a lovely photo and I wont vote you down as a dnmc. I am a sucker for a water shot. Always!

Greetings from the Critique Club :-)

My first reaction to your image was "Love it". Great shallow DOF, the colors/tones work very well together. The composition of the main subject is right on. I'm not big on boarders but with this type of crop it works well. I feel it meets the challenge requirements, it appears some felt a little different and that is what brought the score down. Yet the description stated close up shot. Wonderful image..Nice work!
