Great shot. I love how still the lake is. Good color depth and contrasts. Good luck!

Nice coloration, clarity, depth, and natural framing. Wish I was there. Not sure if the boats add or detract. I guess I would have tried the photo with and without the boats.

I love the richness of the colors here and the separation of the blue in the boats and dock against the greens and yellows of the land. Great focus. What was the apeture used on this one?

Border detracts and not necessary...sort of gilds the rose. Great shot without it and reduces the effect of the negative space.

Wow! A great shot. Beautiful colors and I love the symmetry of the two boats. I have been having a hard time finding entries that really meet the challenge, but to me, your says "dog days of summer". 10

Too bad you didn't rotate it so that the top of the building was straight across not tilted, unless the building is leaning?! Cool photo though, I like your use of negative space to show there is nothing around.

Very beautiful picture! I love the composition and perspective you've captured here, as well as, the rich tones in the deck and boats. Wonderful color contrast between the foreground and background landscape, as well. Focus is sharp. I just find the detailless and blown out sky to be it's achilles heal. Still, an absolutely terrific picture.
