It seems there's an exposure issue here. The shadows are too dark and the highlights are nearly blown out. In my mind this is probably intentional. I quite like it although I would have rendered it in b/w.

Too much contrast, I think.

I like strong contrasting subjects, no doubt some will say 'its harsh', overexposed etc. Never mind they are still some people who will appreciate this. thanks

Nice composition, but way too much contrast. Much of the water is blank white, and the background trees run together in a black blur. Possibly taking the shot on a less bright day with light diffused through clouds would reduce the tonal range and get some detail into the highlights and shadows.

I guess you over leveled this ine As the sky and the river are all overexposured and the forrest just black, I think this photo would have looked just great with some colors in it, Good luck :)

My first thought is: the two primary elements represented - water and air - are washed out to the point that they're indistinct in the shot. Not sure if there's a purpose behind that...

HOT HOT HOT. I think that really says it all. This needs to be taken like 2 or 3 stops down. Show some of the colors of the scene. Dreary doesn't equate to boring, but you really have to do it right to get the effect the voters are looking for.

Good luck in the challenge.

Good composition but a bit too much contrast.

This seems over contrasted, and the digital noice on the far trees is a bit distracting.

I like the high-key, but your framing and composition of this image make that seem like an accident. For me, you shoudl have placed the horizon higher in frame, and shown more of the foreground - that would provide balance between the two land-masses, and reduce the top of frame negative space (which seems to add very little in terms of impact).

I like the grainy "old" looking feel and the general compostion. But the large overexposed areas are too much; I loose interest.

overexposed water and sky, and underexposed trees. You need to play with exposure setting and metering much more. Otherwise, the picture would've been pretty nice.

horrible shot... no offense

this image has too much contrast. If you look in the river and sky, there is no detail, only white and white. The tree's on the right are only black. I am not sure if you adjusted the constrast after you shot this, or if it was just a VERY sunny day, which creates a very contrasting picture. Or perhaps the picture was overexposed (too light) to start with (from the river, the camera may have measured wrong) and you tried to darken it. The whites stayed white, and the tree's just got black.
