Ronald, You did a really nice job with this. It is a nice composition capturing the fine detail in the small branches and that wonderful reflection really adds to it. Cropping down from the top to the dominate greens on the left edge makes it work even better for me. Seems to balance well that way and also eliminates the brightest part at the top. Enjoying the fine detail in this image!

This scene is busy, but very well organized, Ronald. When opening the large version the details and textures become apparent are truly mesmerizing. I do like Nick's crop suggestion, or maybe a slight burn in the ULC. Great eye to isolate this one.

Ronald, I really like the textures and various shades of green colors in this scene. From a composition standpoint, I think you have included the right amount of water here, since more reflection might distract from the nice stuff going on above. I do agree with nick on the crop he suggested from the top, it would tighten this up even more. Nice intimate landscape here, well done.

This is busy, but works nicely with your comp. I would also agree with the crop suggestion. Nicely done.

An image with this much fine detail needs to be viewed in high resolution, so I think it is quite limited by the size restriction here. I would like to see more detail, because to me, that's what this image is all about.  It comes across as a natural abstract..  I do agree with Nick on his suggested crop, because I think it would help balance the different areas and types of patterns in here.  The greens sprinkled about in there really make this.
