Composition: 7, Good angle & crop for this subject.
Technical: 8, Colors are dark, but I think that's good for this shot
Appeal: 6, It's a picture of a sign - hard to get excited about
Challenge: 7, This was one of the thoughts I had - it's more broken than the photo indicates though. :-(
Overall Calculated Average Score: 7, Nice work.

Comment by redmoon:
normally when someone uses the line of reflection from water exactly half way up an image, so you have 50/50 symmetry, it just drives me MAD! but here, against all my pre-conceived prejudices, it works really bloody well. indeed, due to the shape of the monument, such composition serves a purpose, and it is very effective. i love the hole in the monument, which is finished by the reflection in the water. sadly, i think i prefer this to the one you selected for the challenge...

I am having trouble deciding what part of the photo you want me to focus on. Which is the memorial? I like the foreground and the rock a lot.

A pleasing scene and while the image is at the two extremes of the zone values, there is enough charm to the composition. Bumping up.

Interesting landmark. I really like the church and tree line reflection in the water. Good luck!
