This has a lonesome sense to it. It might be fun to play with black and white and see if the the branches really POP out of the water more. I'd straighten the horizon too, as it looks tilted and down to the right a bit. This definitely has potential. ;~D
Yup, they are branches alright. If I may add some unskilled comments.
1. looks like the horizon is a little tilted. I suspect it is closer than it looks, but the line on the tree near center is making me feel that it's about two degrees too far clockwise. There is a tutorial for fixing that on this website.
The picture seems to lack a subject. I can't tell if you want me to look at the tall tree (which is off center and off thirds) or the branch sticking out of the water (which is on thirds - ish, but blanketed in darkness.
Landscape pictures are usually intended to have a lot in focus and it appears that this pic does not have good focus on much. I hit this with a contrast jump and an auto levels in PS. It helped a bit.
I wonder if it might have been possible to slide a bit more to the right and get the elements in the shot composed slightly differently. Maybe move downwards? Tough call, I don't know if you were on the shoreline or in a boat...
Really nice image. IMHO I would crop this in portrait, losing the the right half of the picture, making it less about the landscape and more about the tree trunks in the water....which ever way you crop it though, this photo would really benefit from using the crop tool to straighten the horizon. Contact me it you need to know how. Give it a strong 9. Good luck! IJM
the hills are too dark, and the sky is too light and hazy. The shadows are very undefined, and it may also seem as though nothing really pops in this photo. Very unorganized mood, for a very organized setting. Hope this helps, GL.
