glenncComment by purpleflutterby13: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Congrats on your new top score :)
Quite a difficult image to critique really... I gave it a 7 during voting, and I think it looks pretty gorgeous - can't find much at fault with it really. The HDR works well, and is nice and subtle too. The sky is interesting, and the reflections are great. Nice symmetry too.
I'd be interested to see how the same view works from slightly different angles - like, would it be possible to get more of a vanishing point going off to the side, for example... Might not make it better, but it's just a possibility.
Post-processing looks really good, except you've lost a little bit of detail in the yellow grassy bits on the left bank - I wonder if a couple of gentle black soft light layers would bring back some of the shadows?
Anyway, I'm having trouble finding any more constructive criticism, so I'll just say - well done! Great image :) Nice score too. And I look forward to seeing more of your submissions on DPC!
