I would give this a higher score if it wasn't split dead center by the boats. I would ut about 150 pixels at the bottom. 8 as it is.

Always like reflections. Interesting tower adds to this. Nice exposure.

This is a lovely image; I like the reflections, the colors and the mood. But would some grain have been so terrible? Hey, it's your image and by golly you presented the way you wanted it to too look just as you should have. But IMHO, a little noise can sometimes add to an image. Nice work

A very nice study, but the sky has an unreal feel. the reflections are just great. Bumping up.

that water is unbelievably smooth and gorgeous! there are aspect of this i like a lot, such as the architecture of the building in the background (is it a power station?), the water and the sky. i'm not all that keen on the final cropping - personally i would feel that fitting in ALL of the stacks reflection is slightly overkill - i think maybe cropping just below the red lights closest to the boats reflections would feel more natural (adhering to the much referred to rule of thirds). doing that would also have brought the boats and details closer (squarer image) which would also be an enhancement of sorts. other minor quibble is that the boat resolutely facing the wrong way is a bit of a distraction, but then there was probably sod all you could do about that. this is a shot that become more appealing the more you look at it, and is pretty serene. 8.

I love this image for a lot of reasons. It's different and the bttom half looks almost like a mirror. It's almost surreal and I like the way you composed it. Usually shots like these are a bit busy for my liking, but this one is not. Well done. Hope you ribbon.

lovely shot, but the sky just doesn't look real?

Very nice, the masts and the big pole make a nice diamond shape that really makes the composition super. Nicely burned in too. Reflection is nice and clear and the exposure on the boats is good. You really know how to work the camera. Congrats.

Good shot, very intense. Seems like it was burned a little uneven in the reflection, but that may just be me.

I really like the colours and composition of this picture, but I find something uneasy about it, I think it may be neatimage or something

Splendid lighting and composition. The tower and building look magnificent. You also hit a soft spot because I have a weekness for boats. -10
