My photography teacher is holding a small Christmas photo contest (Prize is a Starbucks gift card, and a signed picture by her (inside joke)) anyway... I am thinking about making this my entry...
It is my first time attempting a watermark, and first time adding borders...

Hi, i like the picture and what you are after, but in my oppinion i dont like the reflection being cut off. It might look good if the reflection was not straight down but at a slight angle. It looks a bit OOF but maybe thats because it is soo small.
I love the warmth colour of it though. keep on and yopu will have a good carreer.

I also see a few things I don't like about it...
- The stuff coming from the left side
- Bottom button is too bright, but without it standing out I don't think it would have a 'center focus'


Thanks for suggestions! I may try it again tomorrow night,
