Nice cloud and sunset shot... the texture on the clouds is great. It appears that you wanted to capture the symmetry of the reflection here... either moving the horizon up to the center to enforce the symmetry, or down a bit to get rid of the darker area at the bottom (and bring it down onto a thirds line) might give it a bit more visual appeal.

Comment by graphicfunk:
This is a nice study but I am not crazy about the slight harshness due to tonal limitation and high contrasts look. I think it is a good photo but my feel is that this image may look better in B/W.

Despite what I said, the image does draw the eyes, but these images are mood related. You will find many folks grouping around one image because it imparts serenity and another group about the more dynamic while others love storm clouds.

The compostion is great. Bumping up to 6

The sky is nice in this photo, as is the reflection. Other than that, I can't find a particular focal point. I like good landscapes, but I usually look for a strong focal point within the image...

This is beautiful. I can really feel the mood of a calm, but stormy looking day. 8

Strong points: The scene is excellent with a great range of colors. Taken at a opportune moment. Suggestions for improvement: It's rather centered and would be fine to remove some of the bottom. The heavey 2-toned border could be downsized a bit.

Very nice atmosphere, great clouds and reflection. I am missing some focal point and find the left edge distracting. It looks like a small boat is coming into the picture at the edge, cropping that away, up to the middle of the first large tree, would have improved the image in my opinion.

Nice reflections used here, but perhaps not having a halfway horizon would help?

Great mirror image of the clouds on the lake, I like the sun just rising above the trees
