Aww, poor little frozen Titmouse. Very nice detail; I think I'd like to see a catchlight in the eye (looks like there's a speck there you could dodge to bring it out).

Beautiful shot and I love the way you processed it! I have almost this same shot only it's summertime. Gorgeous place!

The composition is good but the overall photograph is very soft and out of focus.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a pleasant sunset image, with nice lighting and adequate composition with the sky dominating. But the main reason it did so poorly, imnsho, is a) it's entered in a Free Study and everyone is trotting out their best pic, so the competition is much tougher than usual and this image is quite blah. We've all seen pics like this many, many, many times before, so there is nothing new here to see; and b) there is no focal point. There is no ship or any other item of interest on the horizon to help draw the sky and sea together. Well, yes there is the light...but there needs to be more. If you are a serious seascape person, check out the work of Cuttooth and see what you can learn.

Overall an ok effort, but there needs to be a whole lot more before you can wow the crowd here. Trust me, I know from experience how hard it is! Please continue to shoot and enter and I look forward to seeing more of your work soon.

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that contributes to the challenge.

A pleasing landscape and interesting interpretation of this effectively open challenge. Your composition is good with the walkway forming the focal point and the still waters have duplicated it nicely with its reflections. The blue light dominates and the silhouettes of the trees make a pleasing frame, the foreground tree however is a little detrimental to the effect. Overall a nice result but a chainsaw could have been useful here Drake!
