Thanks and God Bless,

I relly like this photo, and the way the light is hitting the water and reflecting the sun

Wow fantastic photo

Wow Amazing photo. 

Thank you JudyB, Melody, and Marilyn,
I appreciate the kind words.
Thank you Corey

I like this image, too, Corey!  Good composition.  The light is very nice.  The scene is very serene. 

Critique?  Hmmm...I don't know if you have any room in your original for a different crop, but I can't help thinking this image could be improved if the foreground were cropped a bit tighter to eliminate the blown out section of the water.  (along with the blurred foreground) Our eyes are always drawn to the brightest part of the image.  (you probably already know that, but beginners may also be reading this)  Or, could the camera have been raised up higher when you originally took the picture, to add more of the bridge instead of the brightest part of the water?  One other option is to try and recover the highlights, if you shoot RAW.

Overall, a lovely, relaxing image.

Thank you Kathleen,
I appreciate you taking the time to give a critique. The original did have a little more of the bridge but it seemed to make the image busy but I think i see what you mean if I could change the whole angle. I did not try cropping the foreground and leaving the bridge in the original if I get some extra time I will try that. This was shot in raw and that is the best I could get the highlights without it really having a serious down side.
Thanks and God Bless.
Corey.
