Lovely image and very nicely executed. Gator country isn't it? I love those drooping willows in the background.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy):

Positives: Actually, this is quite pretty for something I've picked out for this comment series but it is sufficiently quirky to catch my eye. I really like the POV here - I think the viewer's relative height above the water in relation to the jetty is just right for this scene. The limited colours are interesting - the green overpowers to a degree that the otherwise gaudy yellow text becomes a welcome relief. I like the way the overhanging trees appear to be very soft, as does much of the foliage now I look - I wonder whether a diffuser filter was used or whether something like the 'Glamour Glow' filter in Color Efex Pro was used.

Critical stuff: I feel the image lacks a little bit of depth - you can see there is depth but it isn't that well communicated; I'm not sure why.

Overall: I like this image, it is an interesting scene but in the final analysis, the lack of a sense of depth leaves the viewer less engaged than they might be.
