amazing sky, colours, and composition.
every element comes together perfectly.
the ripple adds interest to an otherwise predictable reflection.
not that i have anything against reflections.
that i love your entire gallery is an understatement.

my kind of scene. would have shot this in infrared or with an 10-stop ND.
while post-processing is subjective, don't you think the sky is too blue and dark?

Jeeze...some of the people's comments are pretty harsh... anyways, I think your pictures are incredible. Just curious, what kind of CPL do you use???

like the intensity of colour capture and the way it contrasts against the water -- later days

It's better, but still it's not special LOL. You must be thinking 'Adriaan is just one hell of a whiner, it's never good!' and ehh, yeah. I don't know what it is that I don't like about this photo... But that it might be unbalanced like b-photo says might be the problem...

Ripples in the water are a nice effect. Good contrast of the sky

I don't exactly get why there is some kind of blurred part around the right tree... You either uploaded a lousy quality or you photoshopped it terribly O.o Anyway, I think it's ruining the photo. When I took a closer look I could see the edge between the left and the middle photo... quite a shame!!
Dude, you can do sooo much better... Well, that doesn't count for the clouds cause they are srisly fantastic, again
