This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: very unique. The mirror is positioned just perfectly to align the stone walk.

color: The pop of blue really adds interest to the photo, along with the differently colored boats in the background

contrast: nicely conrolled here, except a suggestion would be to increase it in the sky to make it bolder.

focus: great focus, everything can be seen clearly, from the background boats to the little sand grains.

depth of field: excellent choice on f8, it really makes everything tack sharp and interesting from front to back

lighting: beautiful light, not too overpowering, but enough to highlight everything in the image with a nice soft light

other: this image really made me take a double take. i love the creativeness, its really unique to see something like this. Only thing i can see to be improved is the rocks in the reflection have a slight halo around them, possibly due to oversharpening. but its minor and not a big distraction. Keep using these creative eyes of yours, you'll go far. If you have any other questions or concerns, you can PM me anytime.

Very nice. I like taking shots like this. I often use my car's rear view mirror to take the shot.

I like the right hand third of this. The blue wall and the blue boat really works well. It is a frame within a frame. As far as the whole picture, the juxtoposition of the left half and the right half does not work for me.

very nice, one of my favorites that i've voted on so far. Not crazy about the reflection coming right up against the crop though...

I love the reflection in this photo, the story is told through it.

Smart composition depicting a dichotomy in multiple ways (Sea vs. Sky, Free vs. Grounded, Sand vs. Water, Far vs. Close, Blue vs. Orange to name the ones I could spot)

Very interesting picture. The mirror is a very unexpected element. Perhaps oversharpened as a whole.
