It's a very nice landscape picture. I like the way the sun catches the horizon, but it doesn't say much about opposites to me.

The color saturation is great. Tthe composition wonderful. If there was anything I would change abou this, it would be to darken the sky a bit -- the 'exit' of the woods needs to be the brightest object in the frame, but the sky (especially its reflection) are competing with it.

After much deliberation, you have my one 10.

An exceptionally pleaseing image with great light overall. The horizon is very close to dead-center, but you could easily crop out some of the sky. It's a real stretch to say it meets the challenge, but since it's so well done - no points deducted for that! Great job!

I'd say this is pushing the challenge theme a bit (the title helps a little) but I like the photo a lot.

This could use more warm tones (yellows and reds). I would adjust the white balance and shoot again. Also, try to get more of the cottage / hut in the photo.

Wow... I love the composition! I'd like to see a bit more light on the right to bring out more detail in the trees and rocks. I love the way this balances, and the details in three dimensions. Great photo!
