This looks lovely, the sunburst through the tree looks great. The only other thing I would try here is to wait a little longer, let the sun get lower so you get more of the suns reflection in the water. Other than that the light is gorgeous.
I love the colours. In editing I think I would look at a shot which was cropped to exclude more of the tree in the left. I think it would before appealing then
Looks line you nailed it to me. Beautiful colors and you left just enough trees in for the sun to peek through. But have to say, I am no expert, just learning myself.
I love this shot and the sun flare really adds to the photo. I have read the other critiques on this shot and you could crop the tree on the left slightly as suggested and also wait for the sun to set more too, but to be honest I think it is fine the way it is. The other suggestions you could try another time and take the photo all the ways suggested and see which you prefer on that occasion. It is how we learn.
This is definitely beautiful. I like the colors, and the sunburst is very bright. I think I would consider cropping the left side a little more to bring the sun into the first verticle in the rule of thirds. As is, the image is great, but that blocked up black section of tree on the left is unneeded dead space.
