| This photo is under-rated i think. Really wondeful work. One needs eye for such things to spot them and shoot. |

| Check out my landscapes portfolio; we have very similar "backyards" and a very similar aesthetic in our owrk with them. I have yet to be in the right place for a misty one, though; mist is hard to come by here on Cape Cod; it's usually solid fog or clear. Wonderful shot! |

A Critique Club Comment
Hello Sandra!
Please keep in mind these are just my opinions
Composition
I like the composition. Keeping the tree on the right side, for me, was a good idea, it frames the shot nicely. The reflection dead center works like a charm as well - this is an excellent excellent reflection! The shapes of the trees and the branches and smaller branches is intriguing. I like the pseudo-vanishing point created by the trees, near dead-center (unless that really is a vanishing point, then I like it that much more!)
Technical / Post Processing
I find the hues too subdued, I think this is a time upping saturation a tad would work. I feel a little dodge/burn of the clouds to make them pop a little more, and maybe a slight bump in contrast, would make this photo really pop.
Aesthetics
Quite aesthetically pleasing, this is a lovely, peaceful photo.
Relevance to Challenge
For me this is what I would love to have this view out my window - this is what country life is about. Relevance: 10.
Overall
Had I voted on this, I probably would have given it a six. Had the colors and contrast made the photo pop even a little more I would have easily gone 7 or 8 at least. Overall overall: I really like this photo!
Each of the photos you've entered in challenges have been very good, I see a ribbon in your future!! Keep up the good work.

| That is stunning! STUNNING! It looks like a beautiful painting, but not the kind that is done with filters and over-processing. It looks natural and perfectly enhanced. One of my most favorites! 10 |

| very nice, love the reflections of the trees and the clouds in the water. There is something a little funny about the tree on the right but its probably just ripples in the water. |
