Composition - I'm not sold that this really meets the challenge, but for purposes of discussion we'll say it definitely does. The composition of this photo is this reflection. It really is a nice reflection, but leaves me wanting more. As nice as it is, I see this as a pretty background without a subject. There is no strong focal point.
**Added later - This does have a really nice feel to it like an oil painting. Ever consider turning it so it looks right side up? Just an afterthought.

Technical - This photo is pretty underexposed. Part of that is the water looks like its filtering out some of the greens in the grass and trees. I think the photo could've used a little slower shutter speed to capture a bit more of the colors. The DOF is not really an issue here. Overall not badly taken, but could use a little help making the colors stand out with exposure or processing.

Overall - I don't see this as a terribly effective shot. The reflection is neat, but not really stunning. There isn't anything about it that sets it apart. I think the score you received is fair. It isn't a bad picture, but it seems to be missing something. Hope this could be of some use to you. Good luck in future challenges. - Inspzil

Great way to capture the challenge requirement! I don't know whether it's just the surface of the water, but the trees really seem to have lost some definition. Otherwise, nice shot!

It's a creative attempt, but I read the challenge differently. Take your pic from a higher perspective...you're higher than the water, but your subject is being looked UP at...so I don't know!
