 Shot at a local lake here in the city bright and early in the morning as the sun was coming up. The ducks are always swimming around no matter the time. I really liked the purple in the sky that moring and the way the tree reflected in the water. It looks so calm and relaxing.

The colors here are real attention grabbers. The photo itself seems to be evenly divided into thirds and has a very special beauty all its own.

Very good work and I hope to see more photos like this from you in future.

Too bad the surface of the water was disturbed by the ducks/water foul. That would have made the image incredible! Good job overall!

Cool, you have double the negative space. I really like the color tone and composure of this shot. The only thing that takes a bit away are the two ducks on the left. And the only reason I think that is my attention is drawn there when the negative space should be surrounding the main focus which in my view would be the tree line. Still I love the shot and gave it an 8

Nice mirror reflection. Waterfowl takes focus here as the only tangible item in the shot. I like how you've created two negative spaces--one of trees and one of clouds.

Beautiful colors! The rippling in the water makes for a great picture!

Something about the birds in this photo really distracts me. Perhaps it's the expectation of negative space, but the ones on the left seem caught on the edge and throw the composition out. Lovely otherwise.

Interesting! The positive space engulfing the negative

might be better if the tree line was not centered from top to bottom. Maybe having more water?
