Pretty. Looks like a ghost floating on water.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Ben, I know this is yours but I'm not letting that exclude me from commenting or scoring. I love how relaxed this is - it makes me what to take a deep breath; it feels like a warm evening. The blurry ducks are amazing - just enough form to remain coherent. I'm particularly fond of the trees in the background and how they seem to be illuminated. Of course, your daughter is so important. Like a catalyst, I feel she doesn't take an active role in the image but none of it would work if she were absent.

Critical stuff: I'm not sure I like that lighter area below the wall of the left edge of the frame.

Overall: Marvellously understated stuff.

Was it meant to be this out of focus? It's not bad, it actually works well I find.

Looks like a lazy, dreamy sort of afternoon, just watching the ducks in the pond.
