Greetings from the critique club!

This is a tough image to critique. I like the colors and the exposure is well handled. Its sharp through out. So that all said, technically its a good image.

The problem I have is that my eye is looking for something rest on. The lines of the reservoir take your eye out of the frame. I'd be tempted to do a panoramic crop. (Start with where the nearest shoreline meets the edge of the frame and cut that all off)

WOW, wonderful silky clouds, great blue colors. Black border is not helping here IMHO. Good Luck.

More of a tourist brochure shot than a postcard?
