Composition (content)
The strong point of this image is the reflection in the water, the saturation/darker tones warm the image up. While the representation of the real, non-reflected, landscape is true to life it (upper part) is a bit boring in my opinion. The lack of greens and the nature of the spanish grass makes it empty and flat. The reflection is warm and has stronger colors. That's why I'd suggest to try a landscape view, with the horizon higher in the frame, to get more of that really nice reflection.
On the other hand you now show us a strong 50/50 contrast in the landscape which is also nice. But again, I like the lower part better.
The placement of the house is nice.
Background
Interesting lines in the sky enhance depth, good noisefree sky.
Camera Work (Technical)
Good exposure, good color balance. See Digital Processing.
Digital Processing (technical)
The upper part looks a bit soft and unsharp. I think that that is the result of jpeg compressing the picture too much. It is one of those pics with a lot of detail and when you compress that as hard as this, you are going to loose the sharpness in the details (like the spanish grass and the tree tops). The shoreline suggests that the focus and sharpness out of the camera were ok.
This one is 87kb out of the 150 allowed, that camera of yours deserves a higher jpeg quality. :)
My opinion
I like the reflection. |

| Beautiful! One of the best reflection shots I've seen in this challenge so far. The composition around that little house is great, giving the image a sense of scale. I just love the incredible sense of texture here, almost to the point of being abstract. A 10 from me. |

| Great idea...love the composition. The reflection is great. I can only say that a bit of sharpening would have nailed this shot. Well done. |

| Nice job on the reflection. The sky in the water is actually bluer than the actual! |

| like this photo quite a bit but it seems a little busy around the buildings. I wonder if there was another view that showed more of the buildings but still had the same kind of beautiful reflections. 8 |

| The reflection is great as is the intimacy and solitude that it conveys. Looks like a peaceful place to be. |

| Beautiful shot and reflections. I might have wanted to crop out the red building to the right, if I could have changed anything, but that's being picky. |
