hi, one of the new critique members, here to give some thoughts on your shot....
positives, the bench the building and the lights on the water, the sharpness and stillness are wonderful here, certainly gives the feeling of contemplation and solitude. The light in the sky is really wonderful, even tho it is nighttime it has a brightness and warmth to it.
While I am left curious about the white reflection it does not interfere with the shot IMO as much as the branches on the right, I think cropping the 1/4 of the shot would rid that distraction as well as shifting the building and the bench to the right side (which your eye naturally goes to). It would also create a more standard vertical format. I think a reduction is the sides would help the eye to focus on the really great subject and light in the center of your shot.
nice work, happy shooting : )

Hi Tony

It's a really good photo....

The different photos inside your photo are good. It's also nice and clear.

Nice shot and a bit spooky. Is this in Scotland? Good work

Comment by Olyuzi:
Hard to see the castle, but I like this image anyway. I especially like what you've done with the colors, as it makes it appear surrealistic.

They should forbid people like you to take pictures. A few more like you out there and all the rest of the photographers will be useless. Dreamlike landscape. 10

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Nice colors and textures. I think the castle needs to be closer; my eye slides right past it.

Comment by Shelley:
Nice picture I like the bench in the from, but am a little distracted by the blackness in the left side of the picture. Perhaps a little different crop would have helped. But then again the picture wouldn't have balanced out as well.
