A Day At the Lake!

A beautiful scene here! We are seeing some major issues with jpeg compression on both the standard and large version. You should go into the tutorials to learn how best to prepare your photos for NPN so that you optimize the quality of your images to get the best critique. My major issues with this image is the skewed horizon, the distracting brush poking up in the center bottom, and the tree branches on the edges. Trees can often be used as a foreground element or a form of natural framing for your image - however, the partial branch on the left and the larger branch on the right are a major distraction in this case. Carefully look at the edges of your frame before you click the shutter, to make sure only those things that you want to be there will be in the image.

Looks like a nice scene! I think I'd like this without the tree branches and bush coming into the frame. I agree that web presentation is important, and this one looks to me like it could use some web sharpening.
