I love that you have enough water to capture not only the rock formation and the beach thing with it but you got the shadow casted by the rock and you got the colors of the sky in the water, i've never seen that color in the sky before, so i love that you've got something unique, That makes the color unity in the picture so much better because it goes all through it. I also love that you got the mountains in the background, it breaks up the background and makes it look more interesting. you've got the waterline in the background that Sorry I've never written a critique but i hope this helps some!

What do you think?

This picture awesomely captured the lighting and scenery of the lake and the stone cliff on the right by the semi-silhouette exposure.
By the shutter speed use of 20 seconds, the water turn out to be very calm and soft out the ripple. The sky also looks softer as it should, plus the F/20 make the picture sharp and cut out the light just right that it got this semi-silhouette. I'm pretty sure this was done with minimal post-processing, which is why it's looks very natural and the sky color is very well balanced.

I give this almost perfect as its composition could be better(for me) if the view of water is less than 1/3 of the shot. With the color and soft-out effect, this picture become really interesting and drawn me in on first sight.
