Whoa! Composition hit me right in the face! If it weren't or the flareing (caused by post processing?) around the vegetation and rocks up top I would have scored this 10.

Watch out for the halos... the tiny branches especially show that the image has been oversharpened, but you can also see the halo around the island in the center. Love the texture of the sky. The water probably shouldn't be sharpened at all. Then tilt your horizon back to where the water is level.... everyone knows water will run down hill so images of water especially need to be straight.

Comment by Artan:
The colours here are beautiful, and the framing used does draw ones eye into the image. I am one of those people who prefer their horizons to be horizontal, so I would like to see some rotation here and maybe a little less sharpening as those tell tale halos can be distracting.

That all being said this still captures my eye

Incredible capture. I love the overhanging foreground and the trees in the background, the colors are incredible, 10

Comment by FotoMunki:
Nice picture and sunset. Two slight criticisms: 1) need to work the horizontal, unless you were trying to give the illusion that you are on a boat (in which case, don't do that), and 2) just a little too over sharpened - very noticable by the hanging plant. Straighten it out and soften it up and you'll have an outstanding shot (IMO).

Should have masked the USM on the hanging plant a bit. Nice picture though. 7

I'm sure the horizon police have commented on this. Shame because it has so much potential

Oversharpened! The vine in the front looks it! Otherwise, really sweet photo!

5 - Very nice silhouettes, colors, scene - good potential, but, Criticism; crooked. Perhaps (depending what you had to work with) the inclusion of the top of what appears to be the cave(?) for a pseudo frame, would have made this even better as well, in my opinion.
