Hello from the Critique Club,
Not being a paying member I didn't vote on this challenge, so this is my first hard look at your image. My first impressions are that you've captured a very pleasant looking scene but the trees look a bit over saturated or bright for the cloud cover in the image (It makes the picture look unbalanced). Compositionally, the image is really strong. The curve of the shoreline provides a wonderful leading line and the balance between the clouds, land, and water is very nice. What is weak about this image is the subject matter. Although pleasant to look at, this shot has nothing that really holds the viewer's attention. The clouds add interest to the background but don't work as a main subject. The trees haven't changed color enough to be the main subject. The shoreline shows no activity and has very little color (mostly white boats and covers). And the reflection in the water isn't strong enough to be the main subject either. So, is this a bad image? No. It is very nice and one that I would be proud to have in my portfolio. However, it doesn't have enough of that DPC look to score in the 6's, especially in a free study challenge with over 600 entries.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Tim

| Lovely reflection in the water. This shot works really well. The simplicity of it overcomes what could be a busy shot. |
