Comment by Justin Evans:
Foreground is out of focus. It doesn't feel like a deliberate choice. The smoke is too little to be truly dramatic. The lighting is too harsh. Use a softer light source so it will feel less like a photographer's lighting kit next to a subject. Foreground contrast and color saturation is poor.

Good cropping and lighting. The smoke is rather fuzzy. I like the border. A tear would help the title ;-)

What a great mirror and nicely done
I thought about doing something like this for fairytales (Mirror Mirror on the wall) but I could not get the effects right you have done this very effectively
Could be a winner
Good Luck

Wow! Very sensuous. Is this one of your works of art or did you just capture an artists work?

Returning for comments.
Lovely manor with their usual clean and crispy lawn and garden. Whenever we do architecture iy is highly important that the sensor is parallel with the building's vertical lines. Tiy check this by tilting the camera slightly until the lines rise true from bottom to top. A tripod with levels helps out. However, I am bumping up the image on the merit of its composition and color.

The distortion decreases its appeal.

Wonderful colors and exposures, the water is not soft which I really like cause it looks the way water from a fountain actually looks...the street lights, normally a distraction work well as they look the same period as the mansion....seems to me that you put some thought into this shot and the outcome is excellent. Much good luck....high mark from me.

There's an almost 3D rendered feel to this. Very unusual subject, very nicely dhot. I imagine this would appeal to many in a travel guide. Lighting is beautiful.
