Shoots. Scores! This is beautiful with great capture of the reflections around the rippled ice in the foreground. Personally I would lose the grass and the smaller stone in the foreground so the large rock is more prominent in the photo.....but thats just been picky really isn't it. I bet it was just beautiful being there. And that you were over the moon with the result, I would have been.

Big balls of fire!

Nice mellow softness - quite alluring. Shows it doesn't have to be "the golden hour"! Tree on the right a bit distracting, would crop slightly tighter to remove it personally.

A well observed situation and a great.. Personally I would do a much tighter crop on this as . For me the crowd to the left of the lady in the dark green coat and the sky don't enhance the photo or it's poignancy. Re colour pop, maybe it would work although the only bit you'd notice would be the hat and stripes. I am not a fan of colour pop personally, but I would probably play with it as ...

Wow, what more can I say? -Was it alive ;-) You've even got catch-lights in the eyes!

That is a very nice eye catching photo! If I was to be really really picky, the immediate foreground is a a little too bright for my taste. But I would be delighted if it was mine!

I really like the late summer evening colours, and the bird makes an interesting focal point

Very nice, I quite like the reflections and also the composition - I am not sure if I had been there I would have composed it quite that way but it works really well.

Much better!

lovely colours and strong lead in lines, but the path is too central for my taste. I tried cropping so the path was about 20% of they way in and the tree 33% of way in from the right and in my opinion it looked much stronger. its an interesting shot with a good range of interest and a nice change from the 'looking out to sea shots'
