I absolutely love the colors here. Dramatic sky and some nice reflections. I would love to see more details in the shadows.

I agree with the above comment. I think the sky & reflection are great, but I'd like to see some more detail in the other elements, too. But that's probably rather difficult to achieve here.

Very dramatic Vlad, nicely processed.

Intense. I like the vortex effect of the wide-angle lens on the comp. Could see maybe pulling a bit more color/texture out of the darker values.

Great sky and reflection. Maybe a bracket and a bit of blending for shadow detail would be nice.

Stunning light Vlad! I agree with the others in pulling more detail from the shadows. When I look at the large version, the the trees and far shoreline almost look like there was some gaussian blur applied or something. Don't know if that's the case, but it looks that way.

Superb sunrise. I like the composition and while the background trees are quite dark, the overall scene feels very natural to me and I wouldn't change a thing.

Nice colors and an interesting perspective. I agree with Phil regarding the shadows. I might bring them up just a little, more than a hair and it would seem less natural IMO.

Love how the flow of the grass reaches out for the flowing light.

Beautiful shot - love the color and comp. I might crop just a wee bit off the bottom, but that's minor. Beautiful work.

Thanks all for the comments and suggestions. I do have bracketed images and there are some more detals in the shadow, will try to bring them up. My feel on a first attempt was that lightened shadows created unnatural looking feel (HDRish) which i didn't like. I will work some more and repost. Thanks again, this forum is great help in learnng process.
