[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 162719, member: 13090"] Overall a very nice and visually interesting shot. The reflection in the water elevates this from looking too "snap-shotesque" to me. It could be that it's my monitor but the shot DOES look a little over-saturated to me. I also think the vignetting needs to go, it's really not adding anything that I see. I'd also like to see the horizon a little less centered in the frame, I'm thinking a little off the bottom since the clouds/sky do look nice; not so much as to lose the reflection in the water, though; just "tweak". Horizon is also ever so slightly crooked. Speaking of tweaks I'd also think about 'shopping out the mooring post on the left. [B]Center of Interest[/B]: High marks. Nice subject matter!
