Let me guess - the tilted landscape police got you. Yep, seems to be a bit of that in the comment section. But you also did receive some good constructive comments, too, which is a rarity these days. You did have wonderful water for reflections and excellent color. But I will admit to being one of those who does prefer landscapes with water to be either straight or tilted for a fairly apparent reason.

This has the making of a good photograph, however, there are a few things I would like to suggest.

- Try to find a location where the reflection is straight up and down for the tree
- The bridge being on an angle is very distracting
- I would not have cropped the top of the tree or included the tree on the far left

Beautiful, rich colors and I like the smooth reflection. The whole shot feels too tilted though to the right.

I'm not sure why, since there arent any distinct things I dislike about the image, but it just doesnt grab me. I'm not a fan of the tilt, but it doesnt bother me. There just doesnt seem to be anything in the image to pull and retain my attention. It's just one of those 'ok, next' type images.

There are some nice colors here, but it is a bit flat.

Nice reflection in this one...

The scene is very pretty but the tilted picture (the horizon is not horizontal) really makes it difficult to rate highly

beautiful colour and reflection, and the off horizontal angle works aswel i feel.

I probably would have straightened up the horizon, but other than that, great shot. Love the colors.

The tilt and choppy composition make this image look like an afterthought rather than purposeful. There appears to be a blue tint to the image as well. Great clarity, DOF, and exposure control.

I find the tilt rather off-putting. Additionally there seems to be rather a lot of what appears to be chromatic abberation on the sky line - one of my lines has a problem with this, so I have to be careful what I choose to shoot. I am also wondering how you had the white balance set - personally I would have been tempted to set it at a higher colour temperature.

this horizon really needs to be straightened, if it was could be decent shot

not a big fan of landscapes with slanted horizons.

I think if the tilt of the camera was something you wanted to do, it didn't really work well as a photo. It is so tilted that it appears you wished it to be that way. Anyway, I think straighter would be better, though your saturation and processing looks good.

The horizon is so tilted that the water is going to spill out of the picture.

The greens in this shot look pretty good. I find the tilted horizon to be rather distracting, and it appears that the sky may have been overexposed. In general, the composition is ok with me...I see this as a very peaceful place to enjoy.

Not sure if the tilted horizon works for me here. Almost makes it feel as though all the water is going to run out of the picture to the right...however, I do like the reflection and composition (6)
