Is the image interesting without the sunrise/sunset? This is always my first question about an image with colorful skies. In this case, yes there is more to the image than just sunset color.

Is the water level? I do not know about you, but when water is not level in an image it makes me slightly nauseous. This is easy to correct digitally.

What is the story? Here, I feel a touch confused. The image itself shows the quiet peace of the morning water, but the skies tell the story of a major airport (lots of contrails in the sky).

some thoughts,

Sean

Sean,
You nailed everything about the pic. It was an early fall morning on a lake less than 5 miles from the local airport. The water was calmer than I had ever experienced while Kayaking here all summer. I thought it provided a nice contrast.
