Thanks for your comments, Bogdan.
I submitted a 1024 X 768 and was surprised that it appeared so small. I have no idea why it looks that way.
I might agree with you about the rule of thirds, but I actually took the shot to illustrate an example of single-point perspective for a class I taught. I probably should have mentioned that in my narrative. |

You're probably right about contrast. For sure the sky is too dark. |

Thanks for your comments, Mohan. I wouldn't expect to see either a person or an idle piece of farm machinery in a vast, harvested cornfield, even if one or the other might lend some interest to the scene. That's like saying that a mountain vista would be more interesting if a bear were standing in the foreground. Perhaps, but sometimes what you see is what you get.
I welcome meaningful criticism, but as a practical matter, what could I do to add interest to the photo in accordance with your wishes, morph something into the scene that isn't there? Sorry, but that's not my style.

In this instance, I find the double image of the bridge and roadway a bit jarring, but I don't object to the effect of your unintentional camera movement on the water, the brushy banks, and on the trees in the background. That said, if you view your results serendipitously, then I'm happy for you.
Another way to "smooth" water, provided you have the proper software, is to shoot multiple exposures and then align and merge them digitally. Static objects remain sharp unless the wind is strong enough to flex grass and trees. No long exposure and no neutral density filter needed. To smooth water in a shot like this, I might shoot a dozen or more frames and process them using the "New Stack" option in Affinity Photo. |

A dramatic high-key photo with an ethereal quality, yet with great detail. My only suggestion would be to crop the right of the frame a bit so the bride's lovely eyes are looking more into the picture space rather than out of it. |

The colors really pop in your photo. What an interesting and unconventional way to pay tribute to your country's flag. |

Interesting structure and a wonderful composition. Great leading lines. Like Walter, however, I prefer the color original. Stu's shirt against the otherwise muted colors draws the eye. |

Of the three pelican shots, this is your best. Best composition, best lighting, and plenty sharp. It makes me wonder why you bothered with the other two.
