"Nice effect here. It would have been even better if you have reflection of the boat in the water as well :)"

"Nice lighting in this picture."

"The photo contained a glimpse of fences, so I cropped it out. Also, the photo was kind of faded out, so I increased the contrast, just enough too have some blueness in the sky."

"I used a focal length of 55 mm to get the entire tree in the photo and used aperture 9.0 to get a deep field of view. I tried a smaller aperture, but than the shutter speed was too slow and I saw camera shake."

"This tree was near the 19th hole of the Stanford Golf Course, and the shot was taken at approximately 7:30pm. The shot could have been better had it been taken at 7:30 am, but having woken up three days in a row during the last days of assignment 6 proved too tiresome. I have wider shots that this one, but the sun is too bright so many of them seem faded out. I think this photo has a nice balance of shaded area and sunlit area. I also like the hole flag on the lower left."
