Nice image. I feel like it needs to have the contrast pushed a bit. Especially in the sky.

This has a simple elegance - nothing flashy, but more quiet beauty. I like the symmetrical comp and the mix of blue / green is really nice with just a hint of reds in the sky. Beautiful work!

I like the moodiness, the subtle tones well preserved. The break in the glassy water from the fish rising adds a good element, though if he had risen a few feet to the right it would have been better. We have no real control over such natural occurrences. The slight dissonance in the real world adds a certain energy.

Regards. Tom

I like the range of cool hues in this image. I find this to be incredibly peaceful. The fact that nothing is sharply focused appeals to me in this image. I don't know that I would change anything here.

Beautiful image, Peter. The color combination and the symmetry work very well here.

I really like this. The feeling of the image is great, the composition works very well and the subtle colors are nice. I could see this blown up very large and on a wall.

Love the symmetry and color, Peter, and the touch of color in the sky. Outstanding.

Lovely combination of subtlety, with just enough drama in the sky.
This has a very calming effect on me, but I think that effect would be enhanced by decreasing the green saturation a bit. May be just my wide-gamut monitor, but the greens on the right side seem too intense compared to the subtle mood of the rest of the image.
