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.

P.S. I like "Making Due". Clever.

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.
