I have to agree with the others about picture one, The railings definitely do distract from the scene although I can see why you took the shot. Sometimes trying to capture on digital or film what the eyes see is not as easy as we might think and this shot is a example of this issue. If you had altered your position to remove the railing you would have lost the reflection in the water, you couldn’t win.

The second shot is my favourite of the three you have posted here. The silhouetted mountains against the sunset are nicely balanced by the trees in the foreground. This picture has great colours.

I am going to be a little controversial with my comments on the third picture. While there is no doubt that the sky and sunset are excellent, I feel the picture as a whole is missing a focus point. If you had one silhouetted tree or a boat on the lake it would have drawn the eyes instead of them floating around the picture looking at the different elements and not quite allowing me to enjoy the picture as a whole.
