I think a tighter crop might work. Ordinarily centered compositions work well with reflections-causing-interesting shapes, but there is just a bit too much here still to really bring that element out of it. Otherwise, nice colors.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1113 images, I gave 93 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 93, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

I love the really deep rich blue and green in this shot which counter each other really well. The symmetry of the shoreline is pleasing, and the shy gives just enough light to lift the image from murky obscurity. Nicely shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Serene and lovely. What are the two glaring shite spots foreground? I think I would have cloned them out. But, to each his/her own.

Wonderful peaceful view with the lines leading to the mountains at the end.

Beautiful blues.

Plain sky needed something.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:54:32 PM
The border takes away from the pic in my opinion. Also the horizon is dead in the middle.. it would look better i.m.o. if it were in the upper third.. take a lower angle on the shot. Shoot from closer to the ground :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:50:20 PM
A beautiful view, but it looks like you missed the light. Except for the two white flowers in the foreground :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

great mood in this image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:43:43 AM
too bad about all the spottiness in the sky. A little bit of post processing could have fixed that up for ya in a jiffy.

Beautiful scene I find the 2 flowers in the foreground taking my attention away from the scenery.

Nice waterscape. Nice tones and good detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:10:44 PM
Beautiful moment, love the white peaks in the distance. Perhaps a little dark in places but this also adds so I'm in two minds about it. One thing I know for sure, its a stunning photo, best of luck. 8

03/12/2009 12:27:49 PM
The blue and greens in this just blow my mind. This is stunning. I love the natural congruency of the water and sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:56:01 AM
This image feels a tad dark. There is a bit of posterizing going on in the sky which is kinda distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:50:33 AM
ah, beautiful, I can hear the silence, if that's possible
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:05:30 AM
Very peaceful and serene. IMO the lens flare centre left tends to draw the eye away from the mountains at the end of the lake
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:11:18 AM
Detail& colors are lost in the dark exposure
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:10:22 AM
beautiful scenery, but contrast is too high here and your processing created banding in the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:11:01 PM
Very pretty blues, nice capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:40:06 PM
great colours and depth!

I'm drawn to the mountains in the background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:31:33 PM
Coming up a bit dark on my monitor .. lovely shot and good colours, but would like a bit more contrast and pop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:37:29 PM
too bad that distant mountain is blurry, this is a very beautiful scene. great tone in the sky and the reflection
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:11:36 PM
Incredibly beautiful. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:37:26 PM
Love the blues, the flares (?) on the water are a bit distracting.
The tonal qualities of the distant mountains are very good, must be the advantage of not living in the "Smokys"

lovely peacfulness

Peaceful. Love the light and detail. Even at 720px it is stunning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:30:14 AM
+ A great poster image. Should have some kind of motivational statement at the bottom! - The sky is quite noisy and some reduction would have improved it further.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:52:32 AM
Nice mood, really peaceful. I wish I could be there.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

God this is beautiful.. I don't like the white things in the foreground.. but the water is so serene..
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i like the natural framing, i wish the rocks/hill would have more detail in them.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is so crisp. I love the rainbows in the water. It really is a captivating photo.
