This I shot at Reelfoot Lake in North West Tn. Camera was a Nikon D5200. I shot long exposure but I don't remember exactly what exposure it was. I always welcome creative feedback.

Hi Richie. I love the minimalist approach to this image (I'm a sucker for trees....). You have done a great job of using the fog to isolate the subjects and I love the depth that is conveyed in the image.
I think the exposure is good and your long exposure spot on to create a seamless backdrop.
I love the right two trees but have to say I find the one on the left distracting and not adding anything to the image. I would also have liked the camera to be pointed up - I see your goal of capturing reflections but I would have liked to see some breathing space above the foreground tree.
Overall I love the image in general but feel it would better suit my personal taste had you shot vertically. Here's a really rough crop just to use as a comparison.
Thank you for all the kind words.
I would agree with Alan, especially about the snipped top of the biggest tree. However, I happen to like the three trees on the right, but not the half-a-tree on the left edge. I would like that one cropped out completely and maybe dodge the distant tree on the left to make it nearly invisible. Exposure is excellent.
