The foreground really does a nice job of framing the picture. I love the soft colors of blue in the sky and water.

A very nice image with beautiful colours. You might want to ensure that your horizons are straight prior to submitting. Good luck.

the crooked appearing horizon is going to hurt this im afraid. Your colors are perfect though so i still like it. 9

I like the colors but the horizon doesnt appear straight.

Nice colors and peace sensation, but also some anxiety for the leaning horizon

Very picturesque, lovely colors. I would have rotated .5 to 1 degree CW to flatten out horizon. Also, I would have loved to see a little more of the sky (might make it a little more interesting than the solid black land in the foreground. Still, a very nice shot indeed.

It kills me not to vote this with a higher score, as I think the photograph is beautiful. I love the color and the light you were able to capture. The thing I see that takes away from this is the tilted horizon. Had that been level I would have given this a minimum of 7.

I really like the colors, but there are 2 things I see that detract. To my eye, the leading line is the horizon above the trees and it seems it's sloping too much down to the left. And, this is more of a picture with shadows than a silhouette pic. 5

Beautiful image! A small clockwise rotation would help balance out the horizon. As it is, I feel like I'm sliding off of the composition to the left.6

Beautiful colors. Everything else is a silhouette. Good shot! 10
