Either poor quality resolution or way over processed. The leaves are neat and the bird is a nice addition, if only the image looked natural.

This image feels overworked in post production. I think you would really have something here at a different time of day with calmer water.

I like the shot, but something looks wrong with the color and the image looks kind of pixelated.

Nice capture, composition, sharpness. Feels just a little too over-processed / over-sharpened, over-blue - more color contrast from bird to water would help.

Awesome shot, but way too much post-processing.

Nice imagary, I love this reflection but this image seems to be way oversharpened or resized and the compression artifacting (could be from resizing) is distracting

Too much to look at and a little noisy for my taste.

Might be overprocessed. Has an overprocessed look to the image.

The reflection and position of this heron is nice. I like that there's nothing too complicated about the composition. Not sure if you meant for it to be grainy or have jpg artifacts (not sure what it is)... that's a slight drawback for my taste. Nice effort.

There's a lot of noise in the photo, a sif you took it with a long zoom and/or tried to sharpen it too much. If it were more in focus with little grain it would be a good picture.

it's just so over processed...I can only imagine how well this would have done if it had better resolution, because the colours look amazing
