Depression

Comment by Imagineer:
It's gratifying to see someone use the challenge to make a powerful point. It may well be a natural forest fire, but most of them are man made. Worse still it good be an eroded climate or man-made destruction.

Whatever the story, not only is this a great photo (technically and aesthetically) it is also a supreme piece of photojournalism and indeed a depressing one. I share your mood at this scene and hope you win this challenge. [10]

Coming back for comments, there is something very dreamlike about the stillness of the water, I think you´ve got your interpretation nicely done

This is my second go-around =) - Definately a picture that matches it's title! I would love to be there!!! Excellent photo! The reflections in the water is beautiful and what a perfect sky! Your exposure is better than perfect! And I love your composition. I just bumped you from a 7 to 10. =) I only wish that random thing in teh water at the river's bend was cloned out (but that's a VERY minor detail) =)
