7 - Looks like the details lost at this size are likely there wall sized and this would make an excellent 'wall sized', especially with the right framing. I like that this is different by being (seemingly) deliberately cold, isolated and 'lackluster'. After looking at this a while, the ponting/deck dominates more and leads the eye 'out' of the frame to the right, yet the distant sloping of the landscape and edge of the lake are not quite strong enough to counter-balance that bringing the balance/eye back to the left of frame, if that makes sense. Perhaps tweaking that 'somehow' may have made this even stronger, that coupled with perhaps a more refined crop on the left where there is 'half' a hill/mountain in the frame.

Almost perfect (except a little blown area in the sky), serene mood and beautiful lines.
For some reason, I don't feel a wow, probably because the upper part of the sky is uninteresting.
This said, a good rating though.
