Greetings from the Critique Club :)
I did vote in this challenge and sorry, I was one of the people who gave this a score of 4, that means to me that it was below average but not horrible. There are a couple of things that would make this particular photo better in my opinion. First off, the out of focus branches are just distracting, I would opt for a smaller aperture to fix that problem. Secondly, the parts of the image that are in the sun are a bit too bright, the correct exposure according to the sunny 16 rule (send me a PM if you have never heard of it and I´ll try to explain it) is if you want to stay with the 1/200 shutterspeed f11 so it´s two stops too bright. The areas in the shadows would then be too dark of course so to get the best results you would have to take two photos and stitch them together to get both areas correctly exposed.
I also can´t really find any main subject, I mean the scene is nice but there is no spot in the picture that really draws the eye so mine wanders all over the frame.
I do like the framing of the landscape and I really encourage you to keep that aspect and work more with it since you like it.
Kind regards from Iceland, Larus. |

| Good job framing your scene, but the branches along the top are quite blurry. Normally this wouldn't bee too bad, but the branches in the top-right tend to dominate the image more than they should. Good colour in the water. |

| Not too interesting. Nice photo but seems like an ordinary landscape shot. 3 |

| I like how you're "peeking" through the rocks and tree. to 'glimpse summer' |

| a nice calming shot you can almost feel the cool breezes in the shade while the sun bakes the surrounding landscape. you've chosen a difficult shot lighting wise and i would have gone for a more correct exposure on the sand in the midground and made the forground trees more of a suilette. nice shot 6 |

| might have been a good effect if the fore-tree was more in focus, and the colors a bit more vibrant... |
