I like the juxtaposition of the selective color. The image has a great balance with the two birds on either side of the tree. There's a loneliness and calm to the image even though the water isn't completely smooth. The horizon line adds interest with the distant trees and the clouds seem to almost mimic the water. I think it looks a bit over sharp in some areas, particularly by the tree and I'd suggest cropping maybe a half inch off the top. Other than that I think its great. I gave a 7

The tree is a koan. I suppose it should ideally be silhouetted against the sky, but I wouldn't have gone swimming with all that camera gear either...

I'm not usually a fan of selective color, but I like how you did this. it seems to represent the solidarity of the tree. Very nice.. 8

Nice image and I like the selective desat, the two birds are slightly distracting but still the shot feels nice and calm :)
