The reflection is superb but I would try to brighten the trees a little.

Those sedges in the pool seem to add nicely to the image.

Great shot diminished a bit by the distracting frame.

Always a gorgeous scene. By framing this such that the white part of the sky is not there, you could give the rest of the scene a tad more exposure which would open up some of the trees that have almost gone black.

Personally I think the frame you chose is very tasteful and looks great.

I really like the framing and position of the reflections, but as has already been mentioned, opening up the shadows some would bring more life to the image. Otherwise, a very pleasing photo.

Very beautiful and classic looking image. I love the reflection and the magenta tones. I would crop out the blown out portion at the top though. It doesn't add to the image

I like this shot very much. It has all kinds of colors and reflections to work with. Nice job. It strikes me that it is a perfect image to try a technique in Tim Grey's Photoshop CS2 Workflow called "painting with light." It is a much improved approach to dodge and burn that I really like. You could unblock the trees while "painting down" what would end up being a hot sky.
Best Regards,
Tom Keenan
