Last picture of the day; going back to the car, I saw this mixed of colours with the reflection of the sky in the river plus the song of the birds that you cannot hear, it was spectacular, it's what I tried to bring back with this picture.

Jean, welcome to NPN. This is an interesting image because it is very abstract as presented with the big blotches of color and relatively indistinct shapes. I'd try emphasizing that fact with some post processing blurring or if your software offers them, some filter effects. The front to back visual flow is nice as well, but because it's so centered it doesn't pull attention from side-to-side, so the other parts in the frame don't work as well. This looks like the "classic" situation where a serious photographer gets teased for moving 3 (or 10, or...) steps left or right to adjust where the specific elements in an image land.

I love water in this Jean also the energy and the mood. I do agree with Mark about the centered composition. I guess I might be inclined to crop some from the left - mostly the area in sunlight. Regardless, it's a beautiful scene and image.

Thanks Mark and Patrick, I'll work on it to bring the composition out of center
