This is beautiful. I love the blue color of the water, and the reflections of the banks in the water. The sky is great -- nice pretty clouds, which can be hard to catch sometimes. I gave this one an 8

What can you say when you have such wondeful light and scenic to match? The clouds really pop out and the color is outstanding (must be polarized). The deep DOF is very good as well, but would have been really brought out had there been some kind of subject matter to focus on, such as, a boat in the water, or fowl floating along. Still, a wonderful photograph. 9

Good patterns. The water is very refreshing...probably because of its smoothness. Beautiful. Should be in the top 10!

This is a very nice photo of a nice looking location, but there is too much empty space in my opinion. The bottom and the right of the shot don't really add anything. I would have taken a square crop from the top-left, as thats where it's all happening, with the clouds, mountains, and grass converging. That would have had much more impact I think. 6

I think this shot suffered from a lack of a decent focal point. The image seems a little washed out, the lighting isn't extremely strong, and there's just no real interest. Perhaps if you'd waited for some wildlife (birds, et al), or maybe tried to find an interesting combination of marsh islands to give the photograph some centering, it would have worked better. Also, high horizon lines tend not to be as strong as they are when lower, in my experience. Anyway, keep working on things, I hope you get a lot of helpful comments, and good luck in the future :)

I love how the water becomes both negative space andleading lines, David!

Man, those clouds are perfect, they just sweep my eyes right into the image. Fantastic.

I Really like how the mirrors lose focus. The composition is great too, keeps my eyes going round and round. Excellent!
