My first reaction to this picture (other than it is very good) is that the reflections were too strong and clean, especially the house, and this created some distraction and confusion for me. Would subduing the colors and making the reflected image more “fuzzy” distract less from the focal point? I’m not quite sure how to ask this – would it make that space appear more as “negative” space?
Thanks
Dorita

I hope that you and your family are all doing well. Greetings to all.

This was a wonderful and educational critique. I was reminded of some important things regarding composition as well as value. As always your critiques are very helpful. I look forward to next weeks critique.

Warmest regards to all,
