As reflections go this is a classic but the colours, tones and exposure are perfect in my eyes. The time of day, the light and the spatial distribution of the boats in the water. The left hand side of the image is slightly cooler drawing your eye to the warmth where the sun setting. The balance between shadows and highlights is superb. All in all a beautiful image.
I love this image. A little girl almost staring into space and perfectly reflected in the window as the world goes by. A great candid shot which is sharp and with a brighter centre radiating towards the darker, almost moody, edges. There are no distracting elements, only a focus on the the little girl and her reflection. Well done.

An Amsterdam canal scene with subtle colours and good reflections. Parts of the sky are perhaps a little over exposed and a higher resolution image might have enhanced the quality of the shot. The composition is great and you get a sense of the morning mists creating a wintry or autumnal morning atmosphere.
