This is really strange, I'm looking at this pic and all the elements in it are nice, the sky, the water, the wavy effect in the grass, composition and exposure are good, yet I feel there's something wrong with it or something missing. I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I keep looking at it and coming back to typing in the hope that I'll get it.

Perhaps it's the colours, they're not flat by any means, but they are a little samey. Could also be the sky, seems a little overprocessed compared to the rest. Sorry I can't be more descriptive, that's just how I feel about this shot :/

Simply magnificent!! I really like the effect, it's very primitive in character. You should enter this in the Unconventional side challenge.

This is absolutely wonderful. I like the mixture of the snow and sunny sky, it gives the picture great depth. The tonal range captured is excellent with great preservation of details. The shadows are excellent leading lines and the subject of the boat is wonderful.

It looks pretty nice "shot", technically (exposure, focus and so on its OK. The river and the trees, the grass and of course the sky are helping the eye to go around and travel through the picture. I am not sure though about the effect you used in post processing!

Those binocular thingies always look like faces to me. I like the composition.

There is some excessive noise reduction or blurring of some kind going on here. I'm divided on if I like the effect or not.
