Rocks on the upper left are just a bit dark, making that section a little heavy, and I'm wanting just a bit more space at the bottom where that flower is touching the edge. That's my nitpicks.

Lovely colour overall, sharp, good composition, makes your eye wander back and forth...a very nice image that I would hang on my wall. Well done!

This is a great picture. I hope to see more of this series. My comment is simple....if you move the flowers on bottom left a little bit up (not touching the bottom pic), it would be nicer.

Ok, here it is. I agree with Rosie on all respects; the upper rocks are a little too dark but the photo overall is great.

As per above, it's not perfect but it is VERY good. I actually like the composition fine. Maybe there is a lighting situation where the upper left would hold some detail, but if not I'd be happy with the image as is.

There appears to have been some type of graduated warming filter used. The rocks at the bottom are neutral grey in tone, the ones at the top are coral colored. This would also account for the lack of detail in the upper left from underexposure. The picture is very well composed, with forground detail and a focal spot with the flowers, midground, and background. The depth of field is handled well,and the long exposure adds a nice etheral quality to the water.
