This site has so many sunrise/sunset shots, that I'm pretty much sick of them

HOWEVER! This is awesome! How incredibly beautiful. Well done!

Greetings from the Critique Club

First of all many congratulations on 6th place. Well deserved, this is a lovely image.

Well, it is, I must say, rather difficult to provide tips on how to improve this photo. Composition is excellent, technically I can't see much wrong with it. The colours are very subtle. The only thing I really am not that fond of is the heavy border. I am not suggesting a border is bad, but these feels just a little bit heavy for such a delicately coloured image. I think if you had a smaller border you may have even ribboned!

I did actually give this a 7 and probably would have given an 8 if the border was more subtle.

This is so beautiful! I love the rugged, barrenness of the trees in that gorgeous setting!

I really like this shot. Your PP is spot-on and really enhances an already great photo.

This is great, Raj. IMHO, it would have scored higher without border or atleast thin border. But the broad border gives effect how beautiful will it look once framed. Excellent work.

I really like it but the sunset/rise is almost an added bonus rather then the focus.

I love this photograph. I like how the suns rays shine through the trees and reflect off of everything..very nice

like the golden glow - how it extends throughout the picture and not just through the tree line

I love the motion of the water contrasted with the stillness of stone. Great earth tones in this.

I would like to see this with out the border.

Well composed shot but IMO the water in the foreground is distracting because of the motion blur whilst everything else is in sharp focus.
