The rule of thirds would have really worked for this image to make it a more powerful image. I love the lighting Ronin - 7

nice capture....I like the sun flare but i think it would help if you used the rule of thirds instead of centering it

a warmer color tone would change the mood. Image appears cold

Interesting photo.. the sun is a bit bright when you are shooting directly into it :) I think this shot would have much more impact if the dock was not located bullseye center in the image... see 'rule of thirds' for a possible improvement in this image :) I know that rules are not really rules, but they are here for a reason. They offer guidelines that are often helpful. IMHO, the rule of thirds would be very helpful here :) = 6 - jmsetzler

Sorry it reminded me of a show, and its late (i get odd when its late).. I love the shot. It's something out of a tv show.. so to me it seems pretty professional looking. It's soft and the glisten on the water is great. Good job - 8!

Good shot... it does feel peaceful... I would try moving the float/bench out of the direct center of the picture though

Beautiful! Another great shot of the sun in this challenge. I can't seem to photograph anywhere near it. The reflection, the rays, the dark trees in the back all add to a great shot!
