*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A nature study without a strong focal point.

This is the Orton effect again isn't it? The end result looks very similar to your image I recently critiqued for the challenge 'the Orton effect', most of my introductory remarks equally apply to this image.

I find it difficult to rest my eyes on any particular aspect of the image I am wandering around and not seeing anything that holds my attention. There is an imbalance between the right and the left, everything of any interest is to be found on the right. The general tone of the trees just doesn't look natural there seems to be a colour cast throughout.

I do like reflections and I think this may have worked better if you had concentrated on the right and more water using portrait orientation, it would probably have made it more interesting.

I'm sorry this one is just not doing it for me, Sid

Beautiful, but it feels like it's leaning left.

I enjoy the use of the reflections in the water, however I feel like this image would be stronger if something was in strong focus. It appears that everything seems to be soft, whether that be through editing or a shallow dof.
