    like the pastel colours and serene mood in this. feel it needs a CCW rotation to straighten horizon. the sky is gorgeous and the reflections sweet.

    Hi Erik,
    This does have nice soft pastels as Morkel mentioned and I also agree on the CCW rotation......You may want to also bring up a bit of the shadow area on the large mound of grasses on the left or my preference ....crop up from the bottom....eliminating the mound reflection entirely and using it as an anchor to balance the right part of the sky........the crop eliminates many of the weeds/grasses poking out of the water in the marsh yet highlights the sky and the rest of the scene. If possible....getting slightly higher.....to get a bit more seperation of the mound and the middle ground would have also helped....but I feel the crop helps lessen that quite a bit. Something to consider.

    Hi Erik, You do have some nice colors going on in there. I agree that the large mound of grass could be lightened. I would also agree a nice crop off the bottom would help focus your eye on that lovely sky.
