Cold but clear. Sky over done.

Good placement of the tree and the walking path.

The colors seem quite unnatural. That bothers me as I look at it
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting place, but the blown-out sky doesn't help.

A bit to purple on the WB. Good pic otherwise.

Image feels really high contrast and the colors are rather off putting.

Very peaceful.

A very pretty scene, I like the bare tree. Photo seems to have a strange pink tint to it.

strange colors and much oversharpened
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A bit too purple / bluish overtones to this shot. Looks like a very nice place - some nice weeping willows, nice still water, nice flow over the dam.

A purple tree?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:02:40 PM
the color isn't working for me, the branches look like they have a lot of CA rather than color, jmo

I like the red autumn glow from across the river
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:01:37 PM
The bluish cast makes it feel like a cool crisp day. Maybe late fall. A terrific day for a walk. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:52:55 PM
Interesting shot. I find that the blown out sky takes away from it however... have you considered using a polarizer?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:15:56 PM
To me the colors seem a little bit off and the bark in the foreground tree is pink. I do like how you presented that tree though as it really show the people so small and involved in the park.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:12:10 PM
Excellent image, I really like the colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:09:55 PM
Looks very peaceful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:53:03 PM
I like the water, but the picture seems a little overexposed to me. There is also a lot going on, I don't quite know where to look first.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:10:51 PM
So.. is this a day at the lake on acid? weird idea with the colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:11:20 PM
The colors in this aren't very vivid, and the focus isn't so great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:38:02 AM
Nice picture, I would have prefered, if the 2 people would not be in the image!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:37:02 AM
A very purple look, but I like the red shirt!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:04:34 AM
Sorry but I am going to be harsh here. The subject, whilst nicely composed is rather dull and uninteresting. The sky is so overblown (in exposure) that the branches of the tree look very `bitty`. Also, there is a horrible purplish tinge to the whole shot, not sure if that is a result of a poorly calibrated monitor or whether it was intentional. all in all quite a poor entry. sorry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:49:32 AM
Very pretty. I like the little splash of red in the man's top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:13:24 PM
dont like the purple color cast - sorry
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:45:54 PM
I like what you were seeing here, but the sky makes it feel overexposed and maybe even over-saturated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:41:53 PM
Not sure I like the editing but the subject is nice. I love the people in the picture. Gives it a nice idea to the tree sizing and adds interest.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:25:34 PM
love the colors and the comp.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:07:17 PM
a little too purple, but well composed and interesting image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:27:31 PM
I really like the size realtionship of the tree vs the people - I always enjoy this type of shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:32:07 AM
not to fond of the colour, and it looks very pixelated in many places.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:36:25 AM
wish thge colors were a little more vibrant but i still like it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:11:06 AM
The colours in this image seem off, too purplish.

Also a use of DOF may have enhanced interest.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:13:18 PM
I like it, but the purplish cast pulls me a bit from reality. The couple gives it a nice human touch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:16:19 PM
is this HDR...don't like what you did to the tree or the water...sorry
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:37:06 PM
The color seems a bit odd... lots of purple that don't seem natural... but it's kind of like a time-faded photo... so perhaps it works.

Not voting yet.

Nicely composed. Good use of Rule of thirds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:36:09 PM
Love the perspective the hikers offer the tree.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:53:54 AM
It's a beautiful shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:00:10 AM
Good processing overall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:16:47 AM
There is so much fringing in your shot. Not sure if if is from your post processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:48:40 AM
Nice shot. I think it could be improved by a little more color in the sky as that takes up a fair portion of the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:01:25 AM
looks like a beautiful day and so peaceful
