I think you should have waited until the sun rose (or set) more so that you would not have the glare.

The reflections are clear enough with the still water and well enough lit to be strong on their own. Cropping a lot of the top would have benn more powerful.

Nice, I had to look at this photo more then once to figure out what was going on. The bight orange in the photo is distracting.

This picture is pretty interesting. I love how the reflection is and how you took the picture this way. I also like how the light seems to be hitting the plant at one particular spot.

This would be wonderful with curves adjusted to enrich the colors. I like the reflective quality of it.
