Nice pics, sampoerna ... but I'm gonna nit-pick on some things here, plus some basic suggestions :

#1 - The brick/wall on the bottom left. Maybe you could crop it out or clone it out. Plus, maybe this can try jayhan's velvia technique :)

#2 - The little parts of the weeds on the bottom. Again, maybe could crop it out or clone it away.

#3 - I think it looks nice as it. But just a thought, have u tried it in B&W?

#4 - Subject in focus seems a lil too centralised to me. Plus you may benefit too if you crop off the top and right, basically remove the greens, coz they're fighting for attention.

#5 - Crop off the rock at the bottom. Be careful with the highlights on the waters.

#6 - Subject seems too centralised, and "lost" within the surrounding/background. But it makes a nice illusion/camouflage shot :)

:drunk:

Blur - thanks for the comments. All points noted, will try to pay more attention in future.

Chow - only if everyone learn rubbish should goes to rubbish bin and not into the lake. :(

Aaron - yeah, remember to bring along wide and macro lens :)
