I am new to taking digital photos and am still learning; so bear with me. These critiques are supposed to be constructive, informative and supportive. Most of the comments on my three uploads have said things like "Beautiful" or "Good Job". Since I am trying to learn, I want the critiques to be more than a few words.

With all of that in mind, here goes...It's a very pretty picture. If I had taken the picture, I would have cropped it a bit to get rid of the beach junk in the lower right. My friends keep telling me to get rid of more of the sky in my pictures, and I don't know why because I like the sky in yours. I wish there had been no wind so that the reflections were mirror like, but people in hell want ice water. I think you have accurately conveyed winter time in the Mid-west with the barren foreground and I like the various blues in the water.

I think that I was supportive informative and constructive. If you prefer, I also think it's beautiful and a good job.

It could stand to be cropped as Roger mentioned. Nice depth and colour. I rather like the rippled water and reflections.

I personally really enjoy this photo, Something about the Reflection of the trees that makes this photo really stand out. Only thing i would change would be the tree in the left corner, and maybe if you took this photo a little closer to the water.

Other then that i really enjoy this photo! Good job =D

Nice perspective! good composition!! nicely capture!!!
