Thanks for the Critique.

Good pointer on the position of the horizon. I instinctively place it in the middle, something i have to stop doing

Very lovely shot.

Compositionally, having the shot divided in half horizontally makes the shot feel a bit static. I understand for this challenge this was probably necessary, but if you could have framed the shot in such a way to have it divides into thirds instead of halves and still maintained the symmetry, it would have made the shot stronger, I think.

The focus and exposure on this are very nice. You have maintained details throughout the image and the brighter parts are not blown out or distracting. I really like that the two halves are almost equally focused.

Overall, the colors are absolutely stunning in this shot.

Best to you in future challenges, and if I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.
