Very nice image, has a wonderful effect overall. The one thing that might improve on this image is if it were a little brighter and lighter. The silhouetted shoreline just needs some break noticable between it and the actually reflection.
It does fit the magazine challenge well. Keep up the good work.

| Hmmmm. I dont like how the hills are so dark we lose all detail. This sky would have worked nicely for a sillouette, but I dont like this composition for it. |

| The sky with the clouds is very nice it gives me a beginning/ end of the day feeling. However while the dark 'coastline' gives good contrast with the sky I think it is too dark (too underexposed). Perhaps a tip for you: when I try to capture (difficult) scenes like this I first focus my camera on the top of the trees/ beginning of the sky. After that I move my camera more upwards and capture the scene as I want. With Photoshop I then correct the colors to get a well exposed image. |

| The sky is nice, the dark landscape doesn't have a lot of impact. The reflection is lovely. |

| nice shot, but IMO a little bit too dark, forest is very hard to see at all. I like clouds, there some energy feeling when you look at it. = 7 |

| The trees/lake are a bit dark and hard to make out - I wish more of them could be seen - but the sky is nicely dramatic. (The shadowing of the trees would work better if there were some sunset/sunrise colors, I think, as it's more expected then. As it is, it looks like a bright day and yet the details are all hidden.) |

| Well... if it's for a photography magazine cover, you have just raised your own bar of excellence, ya know...! I'm afraid this honestly wouldn't cut it for a photography magazine. The shoreline is just way too dark to provide any detail. One thing I remember vividly from a photography class I took in college was that you want to be sure that "there's detail in the highlight areas, and there's detail in the dark areas." This is a good example of a shot that violates that rule. The trees have no real distinguishable features; they're too dark. At the same time, portions of the clouds are too blown out with too much light. This is a tricky scene to expose correctly -- keep at it :) |

I like the clouds & reflections on the water, but the trees are dark, no detail...but the clouds are great with the light shining thru...
