Comments/Constructive criticism?

This picture was taken on a tripod with a 20D & 16-35 lens at sunset over a lake in Watercolor, FL (near Seaside).

Yes it's a nice shot. I'm sure the silhouettes are intentional, but you can also flash them and see some detail.

Thanks for the comments. I was walking up on the 3 of them and saw their silhouettes and that's what gave me an idea of taking the image without the flash. The detail in the dark spots isn't as good on this image posted online as it truly is.

I would think about sharpening it up. It's a great idea. shooting at 5.6 or f8 would give you a 1 or 2 sec exposure the water would have a surreal look to it and if everyone was sitting everything else would be a little sharper. It is a good shot and since you are in the crit area is the only reason I'm putting in 2 cents. nice job

Thanks for the advice. I wish I could try the longer exposure you recommended. I never think of those things until it's too late.
