Description
There were some steps leading down underneath an old wharf. The wooden pylons were clearly marked by time and water and provided a protective habitat for mussels to grow. The angle of morning light created a spotlight effect on the pylon which I really enjoyed.
Specific Feedback
The water feels a bit streaky, can this or should this be softened? The water was quite murky so I didn’t want to brighten it or increase the clarity. Thoughts please.

The short answer is yes, it can be softened or smoothed out with PS “removal tool”. But I think that would look strange. Water isn’t usually smooth like a mirror or a dirty mirror. I like your composition and choice of subject. It has a floral feel about it. It looks great just the way it is.
Looks fine to me just the way it is.
I really like this image. The light is very nice and the texture is amazing. In my opinion the textures really make the image. I like the murky water and I like the ripples. It’s subtle it lets you know there is water there. Last the warm and cool tones also add to the image. Very nice.
I rather like this as is as well, I think the murky water makes this image. I like the compositon as well.
