Default Overall Critique Help

This is some of my work. I love photography. I am always reading on ways to improve, but nothing is better than criticism. Please let me know the good, the bad, and the ugly. There's nothing I enjoy more than me and my camera and trying new ways to enhance them.

Some of your shots are lovely. I really like Punki7.
One thing I did notice is that in quite a few of your shots the horizon is not straight. I only notice this because it's something that I have had issues with myself

You have some beautifull colours there, but there is one thing I would prefer, seeing whole trees....I think you would still have focus on that blue and brown, but trees would make picture look like nothing is missing....that's my opinion, I am amateur photographer still learning just like you, and it is true, there is no better school than critisism.

You didn't say but I think that the colors were your subject in this composition as well as the reflection, maybe. You need to make them primary. So crop out the fore ground and the back ground. Something like this (see attachment). Although you could have done it by getting higher and shooting down on the pond as well.
