Love the soft milky look to the water. Excellent detail in the rocks.

Excellent contrast. B&W fits the subject matter perfectly.

Just a tad over done for my taste but still a lovely image. Great use of the diagonal. 8

I can just feel the crispness in the air. Lovely and natural looking.

Lovely colors and texture. You've managed an HDR image without going over the top. It looks very natural.

Love the detail in the brick and the placement of the bench in the foreground. The scene looks very natural so the processing is not over the top (IMO).

Challengewise I'd say the connection is average and that the image is more about the skyline than the lines in the water which is probably why the image got a fair number of low votes.

That out of the way I think the scene is pretty but there is not really one thing for the eye to rest on as the main focal point. The buildings could be interesting but are too far away to carry the image. The reflection is interesting but to me, either not crisp enough to really draw my attention or blurry enough to create a more impressionistic image. Also, some of the areas of the reflection are too bright and appear blown out.

Clark's Nutcracker - Nucifraga columbiana

Love the bokeh. The bird's head and a tiny bit of the tail seem a little over exposed. The feathers seem to have good detail on the body. Good catchlight in the eye though the eye seems to be be right in the middle of the photo making the image feel a bit static. Cropping some the negative space from the top may help with the dynamics of the image.

Lovely. Looks like a Ted Harrison painting.
