Love the sharpness of detail in the reed on the far left. Beautiful in hue and detail especially against that lovely shade of blue sky. Now what is detracting about this composition is that the first thing the viewer's attention is focused on when first viewing this photo is those two blurred reeds that are in the center of the frame. They are almost glowing and because you have positioned them in the center of the frame they are the first elements that are noticed - that is typically not where you want your attention focused if the object in that position is not in focus. The grass reed to the left should be the one to dominate the scene but as that it is off to the side and only comprises mayhap 10% of the space of the composition it gets lost. I would have settled on one or two reeds closely side by side to focus on that would fill about 40% or more of the frame with the rest seen as a golden blur in the backdrop. This photo is good but more attention to the compositional elements and placement is needed before it can move into the exceptionally good category.

The gradient in the sky is very good - makes a nice contrast to the yellow. I think I'd rather have seen at least one other of the reeds in focus as well.
