Personally, I like the way the reeds were reflecting in the water. The moon part didn't do much for me, but then again, YOUR picture is not about doing great things for ME. LOL! I guess since the reeds were in focus and had such great clarity, my eyes kept looking at them, and it seemed as if the moon was out of place.

I like the inclusion of the reflected moon. This helps to make the image more unique. (I think a photo of just the reeds and their reflections would appear too ordinary. I also like the vertical format. Bob

THis is a really good capture! The only thing is that its a bit confusing when you first look at the picture as to what it is, you get the reeds, but the moon reflection is a bit confusing. But thats just my oppinion, great shot though! -Collette-

David, I like the confusion caused by the moon. I makes you look twice (or more) to understand what is going on. On my monitor, it seems that the image could use a little more contrast between the water and the reeds. Maybe you could enlarge the moon to make is a little more important in the image and it might strengthen the composition to crop a little off the bottom, just above where the blue of the water shows through the reeds. I found that my eyes kept wandering down to that spot. I read your contributions on the "Critique?" question in the Q&A, so I wonder if this is helpful? It's the first critique I've done. Teri

For my eyes, I really get lost in what is reflection and what is not. Is it possible that the water is almost too still? It would be interesting to see what a small ripple in the water would do. That being said, I really do like the picture. It really draws your eyes and mind.

Teri, that was wonderful! Every view and opinion is important, it gives us a different way to look at things that we might not have seen ourselves. Sometimes we get so caught up in what we see that we can't see anything else. Stuart, thank you also for your review! One thing I really liked about this shot was that it was confusing, and challenged the mind. Everything except the reeds are reflections, the moon, the clouds, and obviously, the reflections of the reeds. Collette, thank you also! I will have fun reworking this with all the new ideas!
