this is amazing. i love the feel of this shot. yes, there are many elements, but they are balanced very nicely. well done! - Anish

I gave this one a 5/5. this is a nice idea, but the composition doesn't quite work for me. perhaps the leaves are too close to the edge of the frame, and i agree with the previous comment that the exposure time for the capture of moving water could be a little longer.

but all i all, certainly not a bad image.

I agree this is an aesthetically pleasing image. however, i might have tried some things to improve upon the technical aspects of the image. A polarizer or more saturated film to boost the background colors, and perhaps to bring a little color into the sky.

what a beautiful moment! nicely captured. i love the contrast between the warm tones of the ground and cool tones of the sky. 7/5

i had to give you sevens on this one. excellent idea, and beautifully executed.

-Anish

nice take on an overly photgraphed subject! this one is gorgeous.

I'm can't tell if this was a posed picture, but i like the expressions you've captured. it almost looks like their modeling clothing. the composition is excellent. i would've moved a bit higher or to the left to eliminate the bright spot in the corner, but not if i would've missed the expressions. nice shot.

The opportunity looked good, but i would've gone closer to the door, and included lmore of the background scene and less black in the frame.

Love the colors! Nice tight crop, too. Well done.

i love the subject and colors. i would hav cropped differently but that's subjective.

maybe it's my monitor, but the whole image seems a bit dark. by overexposing, you risk losing some color in the clouds, but i think the image overall would be more pleasing. did you bracket exposures by chance?

-Anish

you caught the ducks at the perfect moment. this is gorgeous. i am assuming there was no PS manipulation.

nice job...

The only thing that catches my eye is the bit of orange to the right of the tree. It keeps pulling my eyes away from the rest of the iamge, which i think it beautiful. It would be pretty easy to crop out the orange - if you wanted to, of course. after all, this is your image, and not mine. just my suggestion, and i'm being picky at that. this is a really nice image.

It's a good idea and a beautiful moment to have witnessed, but this photograph is just not executed very well. The composition is not balanced. Perhaps there are elements in the scene that should've been cropped out, as someone else had said. I'd give good points for originality but not for aesthetics. just my take...

-Anish

I don't mind the sharpening. It gives the vegetation a very crisp look to contrast with the water. What stands out to me is the balance in the composition and the nice reversed "C" curve formed by the stream and the slope rising to the left. Well done...
