Water Reflection - Please give me some Critique.

[Mr. Pociot]

Hey this is my First Uploaded Picture ever.
I'd like some critique on basicly everything. ;-)
As the thread name suggest, it's a picture of a water reflection.



Canon 550D
Exposure: 1/20
Aperture: f/16
Focal Length: 20mm
ISO: 100

Thanks and Best Regards Jens Pociot.

Considering that this is a photograph of reflection from water this is awesome.
But only thing that worries me when I look into the picture is "where should I look". I want to look at sun but the trees take me away from it and vice-versa. May be it is just me.

But great shot. I never thought of taking a photo this way. Thanks bringing to my view a new angle of photography

Remarkable reflection but I'm sorry; for me the solar flares ruin the photo entirely; this one's a 'throw-away'.

Try a lens hood, or cupping your hand (out of shot), to block the light flare.

Better luck next time

If I improved bout 100% I would almost be an ameteur, so I usually don't critique, but I really like reflections. I really don't care much for the composition - there doesn't seem to be a primary subject in the photo. Other than that, I like to colors, but if you wanted to go in and see if you could make them any better, the "levels" selection in photoshop is phenomenal.



God bless,
