		| | It has some really beautiful colors. The warm/cool color contrast in the sky and in the reflection is great. |

		| | The colors in the water and sky are very nice, and the foreground trees frame it and the swings nicely. 
 I would consider cropping the dead space on the right side of the right hand tree.
 
 ...and I know you can't really help this, but the black band of shore line on the other side of the lake/river disrupts the beautiful colors made by the sky and water.  I want to look in to the middle of the frame, but all I see is a black line across the middle.
 
 Hope this helps.

		| | yeah i agree about the crop to the right.  i like the far shore, but thats mostly because i like symmetrical photos.  maybe i will play a bit in photoshop and see if i can remove that.  see what i can come up with.  thanks a lot for the feedback |

		| | After I looked at this photo for a bit, I realized why it was so interesting to me.  Seeing the swings and the sunset by the lake made me think of Summer and warmth.  Then I realized that there were no leaves in the trees suggesting that Winter was coming (or already here).  I think this captures the essence of the changing of seasons and for this reason I really like this shot. |

		| | tech,  yeah i think that was part of the appeal of it as well.  i can verify that it was no where NEAR as warm as it looks :-) 
 aplomb, thanks.  the pic prob would have been better in a different challenge, and was a pain in the but to put together but i was still happy with the outcome.  thanks

		| | Lovely, evocative scene - a shame there was no child to be silhoutted swinging on the ropes.
