Flooding Continues

Flooding continues where? How long has it been going on? Days, weeks, months? Let's remember you are trying to inform a wide public. As a journalistic effort this works okay but it lacks the human element required for a greater sense of immediacy. There is no real sense of the impact the flooding has had on the community. Without the human factor, in this peaceful setting, it has more of a formal landscape feel than a journalistic one.

Photographically, it's a compelling subject and decent composition but it lacks midrange tonal values. Some dodging of highlights in the middle to create greater contrast between the very dark trees and the water which is nearly as dark.The white structure appears quite grey.Then there is the matter of that large white reflective area behind the middle tree. That is a very distracting element that is not helping the composition.

Good. Maybe a more specific headline? Adding the town name might give it a bit more impact.

Very nice headline, I'd like to have seen more of the flooding without the trees in the way personally.
