Hi Olaf,
Welcome to TN. You shouldn't be afraid to post pictures, most people are here because they want to learn, and it's a great place for that. As long as you accept critiques and provide critiques for others, I think you will like it here very much.

I really like the colours in your shot. I'm not sure if the shallow DOF was intentional, but I think it would work better with a much smaller aperture to bring everything into focus. Having said that, the more I look at this the more I like it!

A nice first post!
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Olaf and welcome on TN!
He, he, professional? No ;-) We're all amateurs here. Very nice debut. I like soft ball of sun amd straight reflection i water. Nice and full of geometry ;-)

A warm welcome to TN, Olaf.
Don't be intimidated. We are all here to learn. : )
This is a great shot. You had a good eye and good timing to capture this scene. Very impressive.
The effect of the sunlight on the sky and the water is fantastic. The colors are wonderful. I really like the ripples on the water, especially the ripples that are in the shaft of warm red light.
Thank you for sharing, and looking forward to seeing your future posts. : )

hi olaf & sorry i missed your entreé to TN! :-)
very nice photo for a start,
interesting & different kind of sharpness -
the focus on the middle of the water works
very well, good idea.
the golden stripe from the sun on the metallic
looking water is wuperb.

Hi Olaf...
A great composition, centring works very well here!
And the colours of course... awesome!
I like your focal range, capturing only a part of the reflection sharp... creative thinking!
Greetings,
