Sure wish this were advanced editing. I'd loved to have gotten rid of the lens flair and a couple of birds in the sky.

I wish I could have gotten lower, closer to the water to have more of the pilings above the horizon, but as I was climbing down the rocks toward the water, the heron flew of, leaving me with a bunch of boring seagulls.

beautiful contrast on water ripples. Great exposure, diagnal solar lens flare is nice and fits, and there might of been a spot or 2 on the lens , perhaps dust. But its easy to overlook and great colors

I like the light, the horizon and colors, but need to crop some from the top of the photograph.

This is so pretty. I love the effect of the birds sittiing on those posts. What a great perspective!

I wish that this had been slightly bigger: it could have great impact. Dot in the sun aura is distracting (a bird?) but otherwise I love the staurated colours: so difficult in a predominantly sky shot.

great shot ... amazing colours, too bad it's an advanced challenge to get ride of the spots in the background ... none the less very well done

I'm sure you are hating that dot but obviously you can't do anything abou that but that is the first thing I notice only because this is such a splendid shot otherwise. The lighting is superb and the way you processed it (if much at all) is perfect. Great job.

Looks like there might be some dust on the lens or filter with the spec above the sun and just below the second heron from the right. It's a 9 and if you had advanced editing in this challenge you could make it a ten by cleaning those two spots. Great job. Nice use of space too.
