wood

That's what I had in mind.  It provides the context for the reflection but yet allows greater focus on the reflection.  And I like the flipped alternative as well.  Nice work.

I would take it much further down with the crop.  The impact is really in the reflection, so showing only the bottom third of the fountain with the full reflection might be worth a try.

Unusual perspective and nice choice in this tree.  Without the green leaves in the lower left the triangular trunk portion would not have worked as well.  Nice work.

No, you don't need to provide more information.  This is a very interesting photo but I agree with Pierre about cropping the top.  This would result in an even more interesting image focusing on the water and the reflection.

I like how you placed the main subject off to the side and included the tire track which helps to draw the viewers eye into the image.  One of the basic "rules" for shots like this is to not place the horizon in the middle of the frame.  Tilting your camera up or down to place the horizon high of low is usually considered a preferrable composition.  You also have a serious problem with dust on your sensor resulting in the dark spots that are very visible in the sky area. 

Nice atmosphere but my personal preference is to position the single tree off to one side, allowing the viewer to travel through other parts of the image.  As it is, my eye is drawn immediately to the main tree in the center and tends to stay there.  Also, the left fourth of the image does not add much to the overall impact.  Perhaps a tighter crop might be helpful.

Nice perspective but might have been more effective if you could have moved a little more to your left to capture more of the river bend on the right, which is now partially hidden by the trees.  The sky is not too bad, but is not too interesting either.  I also might have tilted the camera down slightly to place the horizon a little higher in the frame.  But this is still a very good image as it is and you should be proud.

Nicely seen and overall the composition is good.  My eye wishes for more of the upper part of the bridge as it appears to be cut off at the top of the frame.

I would like to see this in a vertical format.  The right side is not adding much to the image.  It is slightly dark and the damselfly could be sharper, but the capture of this insect on top of the flower is very nice.  I like the simplicity of the photo as well and the dark background helps the main subject to stand out..

A close up of the main part of the structure would serve you better here.  The washed out sky and the empty green grass don't add much to the photo.  The bright sky also resulted in an underexposed main subject. 

I too have an interest in this sort of subject.  The shallow DOF does provide a feeling of depth to the image, but my personal preference is to have a little more of the subject in focus.  Also, my eye wishes for a little more space on the left so that the leaf tip is not so crowded.  I like the gradational gray background, but there appears to be a very slight dark spot in the lower left that could be removed.  All of these suggestions are really minor as this is a fine photo as it is.  Nice work.

Yeah, there could be a little more on the bottom, but this is a minor issue for a fine photograph.  There is a story implied between the two people and that adds a great deal of interest.  My only wish is to reduce the amount of burning on the left as it seems a little too obvious and not balanced with the right side burning.  Beautiful piece of work as it is, though.

The simplicity of this is what drew my attention initially, but then I noticed the very interesting silhouettes along the water's edge, which I would suggest you bring out more through processing (perhaps lightening the water).  The small lens flare(?) near the light is a slight distraction and perhaps could be removed.  Minor sugestions for a very interesting photo with good impact.

Very interesting abstract.  I like the composition, simplicity, and the tonal range.  I find the background on the middle left (the trianglular area) to be slightly distracting, but not so much as to lessen the impact of this image.  Nice work.

Thanks, Mark for your positive comments.

Well seen natural abstract.  I'm not sure why the bottom was burned, but it's a bit of a distraction for me.  Aside from that, this is a very nice piece of work.

Beautifully exposed and the overall mood is indeed mysterious.  As an alternative, I wonder what a lower perspective would have done.  I'm thinking of trying to put more of the dead tree against the sky.  Anyway, this is beautiful as it is.

I echo the comments above and would add that I would like to see a touch more room on the left as it seems a little crowded on that side.  But this is a minor suggestion for a nice piece of work.

Nice lighting and detail.  I wish for a little more room at the top but this is a minor suggestion for a fine image.  It's the lighting that makes this work for me.

Thank you , Pamela.  I appreciate your comments.

I like the inclusion of the people walking away in the background.  Without them this would be a fine image but the people add interest and actually seem to add life to the bench.  The bench seems to be looking longingly after them, hoping they will come back, brush the snow off, and sit. 

Nice work.

Even without the title, this shot has interest and humor.  The title brings it home.  I like the asymmetry of the doorway walls.  Nice work.

Thank you Chris.  I find this almost hypnotic.  I'll try it in B&W.
