| Greetings from the Critique Club 
 One of the fun things about the Critique Club is that when I push the button, I never know what image is going to come up on the screen.  When I saw this one, it was an immediate "ohhh! Nice."
 
 I very much like the contrast between the blue sky reflection and the green trees & floating stuff.  Yes, some of your comments say the blue is a little over the top, and perhaps it is.  Nevertheless, the contrast is pleasing.
 
 The two thoughts I have on this:
 
 First - Border patrol.  The bits of branches to the lower left and right and the 1/8th of a yellow leaf at the bottom work against this nice image.  If you could try for a slightly different angle, it would help a good deal.
 
 Then - compositionally, your image is very nearly half 'n half blue and green.  It's tough for a viewer to decide which is more important to look at. (do you want to emphasize the tree/shoreline, or the blue sky?)  So, usually, after a brief struggle, the viewer just moves on.  Not what you want to have happen.
 
 I enjoyed looking at your image and wish you continued success at DPC.  You're doing fine.
