You probably meant the cows to be your subject but they are too small to be of any significance in the image. In that regard this image would be a big stretch to meet the challenge.

This is a good idea for a closeup however I feel the bright white area on the far right needs to be cropped off.

I like the texture applied here though maybe it could be straightened.

First Impressions: Good use of leading line

Exposure: Though the bright light in the reflection forms a good leading line, the actual lights are a big distraction. Bright areas always draw the eye. In this case, being overly bright, keeps the viewer from exploring the rest of the photo.

This is a tough situation to remedy straight from the camera. If you expose for the lights then the rest of the image will probably be black or close to it. Use of a highlight/shadow type adjustment in post processing may help remedy the situation somewhat.

Composition: As stated before, good use of a leading line.

Impact: If the actual lights weren't so bright this image could have more impact. Just need to bring out more detail in the shadows.

Cheers!

Keep shooting.

The lighting here and your choice of exposure I think sets the mood. The hair on the right side of the image maybe needs to be lightened a bit, just enough to show a bare minimum of detail. Other than that I think the exposure makes for a very relaxing image.

First impressions: I like the layering effect from the trees to the hills to the sky.

Composition: The transition from reflection to 'real' is in a position that makes me think the positioning is a mistake. It feels off balance. To me there are two images here. The reflection and the real landscape. It could work including both if the transition were deliberately placed in the middle.

On the other hand, concentration could be made more on the landscape or more on the reflection. This would allow the transition line to be very high or very low in the composition. Both aspects of the image have their strengths. I just think a better image is hiding here.

Good contrast and detail.

Cheers!
