•  Question To me this looks tilted, even in the thumbnail and more obviously at full size Cmao20 (talk) 00:51, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment The white balance looks wrong (even at sunset). The yellows are too dominant in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:56, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment Thank you for nom! Picture adjusted. --Ximonic (talk) 08:40, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
  •  Comment Bottom cropped per suggestion. To be fair, easiest would have been to pick the stick out, but I tend not to rearrange any objects just to make the scene prettier. For the foreground sharpness I don't think I could have done much differently. Narrow aperture would have led to less light passing and blurry water due to exposure time, which would be a completely different motif from this one. I didn't quite expect it to be nominated either. But i'm thankful. --Ximonic (talk) 14:46, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Support FP to me now, thanks for making those changes Cmao20 (talk) 11:28, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment The stick and chroma noise bottom right aren't ideal, nor are choice of where to place the horizon. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:32, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment Beautiful, but I would suggest cropping out the nearest foreground, which is somewhat blurry at full size and contains what looks something like a soap bubble in various colors right at the bottom of the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:49, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment Maybe it would work when you would crop the bottom (= nearest foreground) only sightly, exactly so that the stick ends in the bottom right corner of the photo. This would be enough to remove the “soap bubble” mentioned by Ikan and it may mitigate the negative impact of the stick mentioned by Charles. (This is something I have learned from Cart: an irritating diagonal element often appears less irritating when it ends exactly in one of the corners of the image rectangle.) --Aristeas (talk) 17:51, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
