This picture is unreal through the colors very oversaturated. The composition is also uninteresting, there is no main point in the picture. And the reflections look also manipulated. This is not really a very good work for me !!! Regards, Luc

This is a photo on LSD. Really, dude! Like, you must have dropped and seen this and the camera just didn't get close to the real thing! I remember stuff like this from 40 years ago. Oh man, has it been that long? It's a flash-back; psychedelic; tripin. I wonder what it really looked like? It's boring I know, but reality is pretty cool......

Nice shot and it'll look great on metallic paper, but I'd suggest pulling back the saturation quite a bit. It looks unnatural will that much saturation. Coincidentally, we have a "Thousand Acre Swamp" here in upstate New York near the town of Perinton.

Hi Ed,
This photo is way over the top -- in fact, it's so far over the top it's over the top of the top. Truth be told, it's not really very appealing to me. I suppose because of that I should it give it the obligatory 1 TU rating, and tell you how unsubtle it is and that you should do this or that to it in order to make it more to my taste. Regarding that as a cop-out, and your photo as a challenge, I'm trying to imagine some context in which it would be the knock-out you clearly intend it to be. I find its colors to be so intense that I can't look at it for very long -- that gives me a clue. I can imagine blithely, unsuspectingly, walking along a hallway, let's say, my mind elsewhere than the here and now, turning a corner, and having your photograph confront me in all its unrelieved high-intensity coloration. I think I'd be floored. Whatever abstracted state of mind I was in would be immediately, actually instantaneously, switched off, and switched on to your photo. It's a here and now, in your face, jolt that puts you right in the present which is defined by it. I would enjoy that experience immensely. So, it fully accomplishes its goal, and I can't imagine how it could be otherwise in order to do that any better.
(But I would say that context is everything here, so please don't place it among others like it or its overwhelmingly powerful impact will be lost.)

Very nice colors, great capture. It is a nice picture but I think it needs a focus point. The main subject would be the sky color and it's amazing reflection but they are all over the picture, it needs something to get the viewer's attention
