| Wow! Placed higher than I thought I would. Best I could do with a picture snapped from a moving bus. Thanks to all of you for voting, and to all the commenters. Thanks in advance to the Critique Club, and a special thanks to the person who gave me my first '10' vote! |

| The tree frames the scene well. Too bad the sky was so bald and the river so white. |

| If I were you I would have tryed to expose the river and the background trees correctly and blackout the forground if necisary. The image is soft focused or at least very unsharp and I think you have to reach pretty far for the framing. |

| The sheer level of contrast prevents this from working for me - so much bright, so much dark, and I would imagine the interesting stuff - the texture of the bark of that tree, the patterning and tones of green in the far bank - happens in a very restricted middle ground. Besides that, htere doesn't seem to be much very striking about the scene anyway - no special moment of light, unusualness of location. There's a hint, in the very left of frame, that the grss beside the lake/riveer and the dappling of the sunlight through brances might make a good image, but whether you could have made that fit the challenge, I don't know. But for all those points, I think you're not far off here: wait for the light, try to control the exposure in the sky - perhaps some fill flash to give detail in the shadows? - and perhaps, compositionally, just allow a little more foreground, and i think you'd have a very restful photograph. |

| I don't think I need to tell you that this image is out of focus and heavily overexposed. |

| Beautiful! I love the way the background disappears into the washed out water and sky. |

| This shot is over-exposed. I'd suggest using an f-stop of about f5.6 and a shutter speed of 500 - 800.. and then experiment from there.. if you can. If you have a p&s, try aperture locking the sky, and the bringing the camera down to take the shot against the background of the trees. |
