Kinda neat how they're paddling right along the reflected tree line. I suspect some may not like the glare, particularly the pink blob on the right.

you have made the entire world into an insignificant piece of colored glass, but ever so pretty. art can do no finer thing. 10

addendum: I'm sorry if my wording alarmed you. I really think you did something wonderful. After all, every photograph is a matter of taking the big, fat world and squeezing it into a little square. You have revealed the bones of that process. Many photographs do this, and I think it's a very good thing to do. In your case, you simply turned your photo upside-down, showing that it was never rightside-up to begin with. That's a fairly common "trick" with reflections, but it's very successful here: reality does a good job of being a rich, dark reflection of artifice.

it's a shame but this image has been broken up by distracting elements. The pink blob to the right, and the streak across the centre distract from what could be a pleasing image.

Nifty trick; I would clone out the pink spot on the right and the spots around the sun's reflection in the water.

the lens flare is very distracting

I must say, this photo is Trippy! Between the flare, the blownout highlights, the fact that I cant tell which side is up from down.... Im just... my brain overloaded haha.
