My critique is only based on my personal taste and it's likely someone else could disagree completely with me and be right. In my opinion, the reflections aren't worth giving that much space to the pool. I'd drop off 2/3rds of the pool and maybe the umbrella on the right. I'd also tone down the yellows/oranges just a bit. One final change is the removal of the pipe in the pool.
It all depends on what the purpose of the image is - if it is to attract guests to the hotel, leave it as is. If it is to appeal architecturally, simplify the composition by cropping in.
Thanks, actually I got a comment regarding the yellows as well. And I cropped it like you said and it works well. Thank you so much! It is for an Architectural portfolio which I got too excited and forgot my main purpose. Im redoing the editing on this one, will post it soon. Cheers!
it's important to state if this was a personal or commercial shoot,
architectural wise, i would fix the bottom of the pool with "distort" tool CMD+A and CMD+T right click and "distort" grab the right bottom corner and push down.
the idea is great but it's to much contrasty and punchy for commercial shoot, i would desaturate it little bit to bring it to the believable side.
