nice pic

Nice setting. I think I'd like a tighter crop. The foreground water doesn't contribute to the image in my opinion. There's also some stuff on the left and right that are sort of neutral. Lastly, you're not using the full tonal range. How's this? I cropped and adjusted levels.

I am nearly blind but everything appears to be a little soft. Was the wind blowing? Have you tried sharpening this image?

I wish there was a more interesting atmospheric (sky) but that is the way it is. I love the color, the reflection, and the composition is nice. I agree with Joe that some crop work may improve this image.

I think the cropping the left kills the line that curves toward the back the picture. And cropping the bottom kills the equality between the top half and the bottom half. I think the picture looks terrific the way it is. That's just my personal opinion. It could be a little sharper as someone mentioned.
