Beautiful clear water. Nice work. Only two things I can see that you might can improve on is a faster shutter speed so the feathers aren't blurry. I also think this would look better if you would have used the rules of thirds on this shot. I agree with Jozi that the green leaf adds a nice punch to it.

Nice work. You have pulled out almost all of your faults in the comments sections. The light and the shadow. The man at the end could be a little better on focus. I didn't vote in this challenge but from what I see 71st place out of 249 is good. I have never placed that high. Anyway back to the shot. I noticed that a few commenters stated that this didn't portray boring to them. As I look at it I think of lonliness. It is a good shot with nice bright colors, perhaps too bright. But you have potential and good work on framing your subject here. I look forward to seeing more of your work as you progress.

Nice idea. I just think you got a little too close. Good conversion and I like the shed in the background.

I like the extreme POV here. Maybe try another angle where you could get more sky. Maybe there are just too many trees around for that to be possible. Other than that it looks good. Bumping up

That is funny. Maybe the wrong time of day. I think it would look better if you went back as the sun was going down. This way you could get some nice shadows.

Looks muddy. Maybe this is your conversion to sepia. It just seems like everything has the same tones. Maybe you just need some practice in converting. Overall good idea though.

Seems a little foggy. Could have been smoky there. Good work.

Good work. Maybe a lower POV to get the tree out of the hands. If it wasn't for that this would look marvelous. I also like the border and normally I don't like borders. You have chosen width and colors that work well. Good job.
