*Hello from Sid and the Critique club*

A landscape of limited appeal that meets the challenge.

The f8 aperture and your chosen focus point has enabled you to get good DOF to the foreground with some softness in the background to the left of the image in particular. The exposure could have been better controlled, you have some significant areas of overexposure in important areas of your image, particularly on the left and the bark of the foreground tree.

I can't help but look at this and feel for the lost opportunity of a much more interesting and effective composition. By placing the tree in the middle the way you have it just blocks my way into the rest of the image and then I feel frustrated that there is so much of interest in the left that hasn't been exploited. By placing the tree on the right you could have made so much more of the water and its reflections and transformed this into a much more pleasing image.

Thanks for your submission, Sid

ah, you people who make pictures out of chicken scratchings in dirt! you force us to search in dung heaps for revelations.

I really like the harshness of this.

I love so much about your image! But... I find myself hating that the tree is centered. It keeps getting in my way while I am enjoying everything else.
