		| | Greetings from the Critique Club :) 
 Hi Uabreasch...
 
 Cograts on an excellent finish :)  This is a beautiful landscape scene... well composed and well exposed all the way around.  It looks like you chose a perfect time of day for this shot and the weather conditions certainly were working in your benefit as well.
 
 The reeds at the bottom of the frame are a bit of an issue for me, and I'm glad you decided to put the text over those.  These reeds aren't really a distraction, but I think that there should actually be MORE of it in the image.  The offer a nice element to the foreground of the image, but their presence, as shown, are just a bit weak.  It may have been possible to compose this shot slightly differently by lowering the camera about 12-18 inches to bring more of the reeds into view.... It's just something to think about...
 
 Excellent shot and keep up the great work :)

		| | Just beautiful!  My only nitpick would be that this could easily be any lake anywhere -- it would be cool to see something that made it more "local" -- but I'm still giving this a rare 10! |

		| | Okay okay, you have convinced me to come to Ottawa with your postcard :-) You have a very good eye, and the lighting is perfect. Late in the day or early in the morning? |

		| | This looks like something right off the rack in a Tourist Center.  Excellent job.  Can find nothing wrong with it at all.  The shadow behind the text is a great touch. |
