::: Greetings from Critique Club :::
Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
Beautiful photography, definitely worthy of the Best of 2006 challenge.
Composition:
I see the rule of thirds all over the place here. This is a very strong composition with points of interest all around the photo. It's like you could walk, well perhaps swim, into the scene and investigate.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
Focus - sharp, very nice.
Colour - your saturations are wonderful in the sky, but the landscape could use a bit more saturation.
Light - I can't find a region in this photo that I consider poorly exposed. There is detail everywhere.
To grow its vote?:
I don't like the frame, but that's just personal taste and probably doesn't affect your vote much. But, I really don't know how you could have improved this shot. Perhaps, more dramatic lighting? Landscapes aren't my strong point, so anything from me would be just guessing on working on bettering this photo.
Summary:
I think it is a wonderful photo, would do well in the postcard biz. I'm a little suprised it didn't score higher. Was a tough challenge though.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy |

So many different parts of the photo catch my attention.
Great photo. |

Good job working with the dynamic range. That must have taken some serious PS work. |

I really like the shot, the compisition, the editing. The border is a bit distracting. |

Lovely reflections, I get the feeling it's a bit soft. |

Composition is good - the leading line of the snow triangulates well. Nice winter reflection in the water. I like the ffeling of depth created here. Would have liked to see more detail in the clouds as they appear over-exposed as is. |

Lacks that something extra that might have put it at the next level. An ok landscape, and I probably couldn't have done much better, but in this challenge, it just lacks the oomph. A little dark in the lighting, and a dull in coloring. |

Really nice shot. I like the composition and the subdued colours. I think the sky seems a bit vibrant compared to the rest of the shot tho. |

I like how the snow bank draws the eye into the photo. It would make a wonderful painting. |

Nice leading line created by the snow-covered shore leading in from the lower corner. Clouds seem a touch blown out and the light on the foreground seems a bit overcast. |
