Comment by Refocused:
Not a bad image. I like the rippled reflection in the water. The light on the trees is a little distracting. I wonder if it would look better to have cropped that portion out.

I think if you cropped the top bit out of the shot and left just the reflection, then turned the image upside down you would have a great chance of the blue ribbon, the gold & blue tones rippling together makes a much better image than a bunch of tree bottoms with no focal point.

Wonderful reflection. Just the reflection on it's own would have made a stronger impact on me, however. The small bit of shore at the top draws my eyes upward to the least interesting part of the image.

This is a lovely photo as it is but when I scroll down to the top of the reflection, it is stunning and would have been my pick for blue if cropped to eliminate the shore. That is just my preference of course. Top two as it is.

Very artful! I often see photos like this hanging on office walls. Good job!

I love the reflection of the trees in the water, especially from the sun-lit trees in the back. Nice found, a 7 from me

Comment by GeorgesBogaert:
The composition looks fine. The reflection is making it interesting, but that's about it. If it's an attempt to make it artsy, there is a lack of order (straight lines vertically and horizontally). I also believe that this would look better in black and white and a more dramatic processing. In this challenge it is in my top 3.
I will give you 2 extra points (6+2)for the purpose of this challenge and my Red Dragon Award
