Hi,

You split the reflection just about perfectly and your composition is very pleasing. Your choice of light does not suit me, however. It appears to be near mid-day and it is very high contrast. This same location at dawn would be outstanding. Very nice shot and it would make a nice post card BTW. They tend to like this sort of light.

Cheers

I agree with Bill, nice composition but the clouds are too hot. There may not be anything there but you might try a masking tool and just bring the clouds down a bit. Thanks for showing it.

I agree about the light. Also, there are some branches in the water on the right side of the picture, but I find them distracting because they almost get lost in the dark section of the image. Better light would help tone down the contrast, or you could move to either eliminate these branches, or (maybe preferably) to better display them.

The dead tree in the water also distracted me. The reflection is the strong point of this image, I'd keep it pure.
