I am surprised this didn't do a little better score-wise. I love the sun and rays you captured. I agree with Dr. Achoo's comments for the most part. Overall, the vibrancy of the color and the warmth of the sun makes this very appealing to me. |

The technicals: You did well not to oversaturate the sky and get pixelation. The rays from the sun was a good idea. Having a foreground subject is good in landscape, but I'm not sure I would have chosen this one. Pines just are hard to photograph, period. The biggest downside, and one which immediately caught my eye, is the texture of the water. I don't think it's good. It's probably a product of being in no-man's land as far as shutter speed. Not fast enough to freeze the water, not slow enough to blur it. There are halos from PP which some people may have caught. (see the back trees
The feel: has a nice sunset feel. Things that would boost the score (but you have no control over) would be clouds in the sky to add interest and a more interesting foreground subject. |

Even if it is not, the picture looks tilted. Too saturated for my taste. I find that tree in the foreground distracting. Have the feeling, there was nothing in focus and you sharpened too much in post-processing.
The background is very nice, but the contrast to the foreground is too high IMO - upper half=pastel and graet tonal range; lower half= vibrant color and little halftones.
I would really like to see the origina, maybe I can propose another way of post-processing

if you look at that front tree, you can see a ton of CA. I like the composition though, and the colors are neat. |
