the darks seem very dark and the brights are very bright. With being such a beautiful place and the composition very well done, would love to see a stunning sunset or sunrise.

love the smoothness of the water - could probably use a little more vibrant colors

Love the water & reflection. I wish there were more detail in the dock area with the boats. Good luck.

Maybe it is a perspective thing, but the horizon looks a bit tilted. But then again, might be my personality coming into play too

nice reflections, seems a bit contrasty as I can see jagged edges on the huts

Well I'm not sure what your trying for here but I'll offer some suggestions. First the composition has some troubles - the horizon line is centered which is generally not a good idea - it appears there is a great barrier between the lake and the sky with the strong horizontal lines across the photo. The posts in the water are a major distraction especially the one in the l lower corner, many shadows are lost under the boat houses, the colors appear to be too saturated, especially in the reflections in the water. Overall you have a good eye in seeing the potential for this shot but you need to think about your composition. Hope this helps, of course this is just my opinion, many may really like this photo.

too bright and the black dot on the bottom right is very distracting

Good composition but lacking in detail due to the dark areas.

I think the colors are missing some zing. It's a good photo but I just don't like far away shots, I think it takes the detail out of a subject... But that's just me.
