Don't you just hate getting the same comment over and over again? :o)
I guess you just have to think that there must be something to it. I do think that this is a very nice setting. I like the lines of the shore and the tree in the water although I wonder if you couldn't have aimed a little more to the left.
I really do wish the lighting were stronger. The top (back) part of the photo has lost a lot of detail because of the darkness. The evening sun on the right, back bank is very nice. If you could have gotten this in the whole scene then it would be lovely. I also agree that you should crop the bottom of the shot. The new cropping rules are great in that you can pick the shape that works best for the picture. Good focus.
Basically, you already got some very good feedback on this shot. I do like the composition better than your motion shot even if this one is dark.

Not sure whether the purple tinting was intentional, but I probably would have preferred this in its natural form :)

I like the way you did this shot. B&W works well for you in this shot. Needs to be a little lighter and your surrounding area is cluttered, which I realize is at work, so won't take off much for that. Easy to tell what your job is so met the challenge well. Overall score is a respectable 7. PTL

Great DOF and colors. I'm not sure what that lump is coming out of the tree trunk. Well exposed.

challenge -- met
composition -- i like how the tree trunk runs diagonally through the photo.
technical -- lighting is pretty good, just a couple of hotspots from the sun, but nothing too distracting. nice sharp focus on the main subject
impression -- i would like to see the background (especially at the top right) a little more blurred. those needles are just a bit busy for my liking.

The top half of the image is a little darker than I would like which makes the scene lighting a little uneven. jgillard6

Clear picture but subject is not very unique.
