The Lake Hotel in background.
Comments welcome.

Very nice and sharp with nice reflections. However if it were mine I would crop some sky off and also some on the left to better show the hotel and the island s in the lake. But that's just my take of the shot.

Nice, I agree about the crop.

Very nice image

I also like the image, which to me has the look of a scene out of an 1800s print, and also agree with Joe. I played with it a bit and ended up cropping about midway between the right frame and the edge of the building, the same amount off the bottom, about half of the space between the left frame and the edge of the structure in the water, and about a third off the sky. The effect was to bring everything much closer so your fine detail showed up even more and put the structure near the left third of the frame, which I found pleasing in this photograph. Anyway, that's my two cents worth.

Maurice...if somebody hasn't told this to you yet in other post, what you do is select it and move the image around from side to side and from top and bottom of the frame. Then you will know how the image will look when crop in a certain way.

BTW, I agree with Joe about the cropping too.

This shot isn't working as well as it should because you have too much foreground and too much background, so your subject is lost in all that water and sky. I think you are trying to do too much here - the objects in the water seem to be your subject, or is it the shoreline or the buildings there?

Get closer. One of my favourite photographic quotes comes from the famous photojournalist, Robert Capa - "If your image isn't good enough, you're not close enough". I think that applies here.

The image could you a touch more contrast - just a tweak of the black point and white point fixes that easily.

Joe, thanks for feed back. On the left there is a church spire which marks were the town is situated for this reason I did not crop but you are right.

Nice, I agree about the crop.

Jeff, your two cents is worth a lot more to me. Thanks for comments.

Manfred, nice work, it looks a lot better.
Thanks, Maurice.
