The comp is complex, but quite enjoyable. The bubble in the foreground make for a nice foreground pattern. A bit hard to evaluate color-wise on the laptop, but overall it looks good, I think.

I like this peaceful comp but it seems somehow blurry or out of focus on my computer.

I like the comp also Todd. I'm wondering if your camera moved slightly and the multiple shots do not match up exactly which would cause the blurring. You can try to put each shot on its own layer and masking the one you do not want to eliminate this problem if that's what it is.

I like the composition, but I agree with Richard, it is out of focus & blurry. A tripod could have helped here.

Todd,
I think your best so far. Great color and I like how you've emphasized the tree to not only frame the scene, but it stands nicely against a beautiful sky all on it's own.
I think the comments about sharpness are simply web sharpness, compression, etc. and it only applies to the smaller version. The LARGER version looks nice and sharp and not suffering from compression - at least no more than what we typically see in an image with all the detail in the vegetation.
My only suggestion would be to paint down the brightness of the water with some luminosity painting. Todd, if you don't have Tony's masks, tutorials, actions yet, go get them and give them a try. This image is a perfect candidate for his methods.
Nice work.
Lon
