This is nuts. Guess folks don't understand that grain doesn't equal a bad photo. Your DOF is perfect, composition and color are great, and you captured a great spirit. I didn't vote in this one but you would have had two 8's instead of one...

Oh, this is pure contentment. Reminds me of fishing with my grandfather when I was a wee lass. In the Styrofoam cooler would be a bologna sandwich smeared with yellow mustard and a thermos of cold milk for lunch. Looks like it is about time to eat.

The design element of the crossed oars and bow of the boat really direct the viewer's eyes to the serenity of this incredibly lovely pond. Hope this ribbons for you.

Increasing the color contrast really added to the dreamy effect of this image. Nicely done.

I love the colours but the image does not have the strength to carry the soft focus for me.

You took my Shield away! I needed it to scare off the competition in DPL! ;)

PS - OK, I was wrong, I got the Shield! :)
