Wow great big eyes, the reflection of the bridge make me see it like two eyes well done

Very powerfull reflection, I could tell "perfect" if you had add more bridge on the top side. I think framing must be more centred. Very nice colors and good neatness. Congratulations.

Great shot Jacob! Great composition.
Well done!

A little bit more bridge on the top and it was absolutely perfect. But even so it is a beautiful shot.

The ovals made by the reflections of the bridge in the water look like owl eyes. They frame the house and the hill nicely. Good contrast. Maybe a bit tight on the bridge. Very well done!

This is an incredible photograph showing reflections . It looks like looking into a large set of binoculars . What a composition ! A simply wonderful photograph.

Très belle composition Jacob, les reflets sont très beaux, les couleurs bien contrastante.

Very good picture despite the sight of that white building under the left arch. The contrasts and definition are great. Congratulations ...

Parabéns ..

A magnificent reflection, the composition is made a success well and colours are saturated well.

Une réflection superbe, la composition est bien réussie et les couleurs sont bien saturées.

Jacob great picture, with beautiful reflections. Peace full location, my compliments.

Two years ago you probably still could see two green eyes.
What will you be able to see in one year ?

Try to put the top of the bridge in your picture, like this is incomplet but anyway good picture.

nice reflection! great job. i agreed with shadi atos, it looks like big eyes...
in my opinion it would be more interesting if you could move a bit to the left to get the house images completly... anyway, great picture...

Très beaux reflets, bonne mise au point et bon cadrage.
Bien vu.

As already stated by the others: somewhat more bridge would be nice. A bit more centered and I have the impression that the picture itself is slightly tilted to the left. Otherwise: great idea, good colours and reflection and precise symetrie. Two points more than worth! Great job!

Beautiful colors framed so nicely by the arches in the bridge. And I really like the full circle effect of having the entire arch in both structure and reflection. It's like eyes looking to the scene beyond. It's a really nice contrast, too, between the bridge and what is beyond. Very sharp, also, allowing very nice detail to be seen. If only it was larger then more could be seen. Still, I really like the feel of looking through these arches and seeing something so vivid on the the other side. Nicely done.

A foto está + ou - bem conseguida, faltando, na minha opinião, um promenor: Partindo do principio que a ponte é o mais interessante desta fotografia, deveria ter tido o cuidado de mostrar tambem a sua parte superior. De resto nada a apontar, caro Jacob.

Two eyes, was my first impression. Each giving a different view. Superb feflections and contrast. Next time lift up the camera a bit, to create two perfect halves. Despite this, straight to my favourites.

Two scenes in one picture !
Very well seen, Jacob, a splendid creation, very sharp, good colours, original work, I like it !

It is an incredible photo, world through eyeglasses. A very oryginal compo with great sharpness and colours. Simply a great one.

Love the rich rusty browns and very cool, still, winter-evening (?) feel to your shot. The exposure seems perfect and the composition is just right - great photo.
