I took this a few weeks ago. I got there before twilight to get setup and stayed until the sun was over the horizon.

Really nice, Brad. Even with the low light you managed to get enough pixels to effectively show almost all the foliage. Has to be seen in the larger version to see that. Nice sky with good color and clouds. Nicely composed and well exposed.

Wonderful sky and reflection. Feels a bit underexposed, especially the trees.

Nice feel, especially sky and reflections. Composition is complemented by the darker cloud in upper right, though I see it working better if more of a forest shown on the right.

An appealing landscape. Great sky, reflection and the bit of mist is a nice touch. I don't mind some darkness but in this case too much of the frame is so dark that it doesn't look balanced. I think just a touch more detail in the forest would make a world of difference.

Brad, I really enjoy this comp and view. I think you did quite well capturing the twilight mood here and especially felt in the large version. I love the light on the river and the reflected glow of the sky. Very nice!

I really like this, Brad. The reflections in the river are great, and the shape and direction of the river works very well with the lines made by the clouds. The darkness of the forest seems quite natural, with good details. I think this is one of those images that could be presented dark like this, or a bit brighter, since we don't know how late it was, with the Sun somewhere behind the clouds.
