I like it, but the water line seems tilted. and, maybe the highs on the foreground rocks are a little too blown out. interesting shot, where is it?

I like the layering effect of the hills in the background and the placement of the rocks in the foreground, however the open space in the middle does not add to the image. A lower vantage point may have helped here to elminate some of that negative space.

Also, even though the horizon appears level, the water's edge isn't and (to me) makes the image feel tilted. A different vantage point might help there as well.

Just my thoughts.

PS. I hope you can go back, it looks like a nice location.

Malham Tarn, North Yorkshire, part of the national park.

I spotted the tilt on the water but left it, I can soon alter that, just want some feedback on the rest of it. It started off a real foggy day and I took this as it had mostly cleared, I thought it added some eeriness to the picture.
Thanks.

Thanks Colette,
I can reshoot at a later date,
It was rather muddy and I was kneeling down, so today it was the lowest I could get, interesting comments and I will sure take em on board for my reshoot.
EDIT: too much type edit.
