Igor, This is a very pretty scene with just a wonderful mood and I really like the conditions you captured here. I would probably remove the 3 dots just because it is hard to tell what they are. If I could tell they were ducks flying away then that would be pretty cool too.

Beautiful, moody image, Igor. In addition to removing the three dots, I would crop a pinch off the left or clone out what look like protruding branch tips. Obviously, very minor stuff.

Igor, there's a fine sense of dawn's quietness here. Your use of an iPhone supports my belief that it's not the camera, it's the operator and knowing what the camera can and can't do that make a good picture. Your emphasis on the shapes of the foreground reeds works very well. The "duck dots" should go.

Beautiful! Great serene mood to the image. I would lose the duck. Make a nice 30x40 print! No, wait. iPhone. Never mind..... :)

Yes, Â would remove the ducks, raise more questions by a viewer. The mood is fantastic, Â mysterious and uplifting. Pretty good for camera phone.

Igor,
Quiet, peaceful and glorious scene. for me the black dots don't look like birds, and optical illusions aside, don't even look like they're on the water surface - AND they should be more obscured by the fog. So to me, I'd get rid of 'em.
Beautiful scene, hard to fault you with the cell phone image as it's a little degraded in the full size. But what the heck.

I would remove the ducks (too bad they are not closer).
Exceptional mood and the FG is about perfect.

Agreed Igor. This is really nice; a lovely mood and eye-pleasing. I too would clone the dots (it would have been awesome if they were closer!).

This is a marvelous scene. The fog adds a strong sense of mystery since it is not apparent what lies on the right side of the frame. I love the silhouetted foreground reeds and how they balance the land in the distance. There is some drama in the sky too and it works well with this composition.
Very nicely done, Igor.
