This is my favorite in this challenge. I love the luminous glow on the water and the sky detail and color gradient is magnificent. You've emulated DrAchoo's image by improving upon it. I much prefer your image proportions. It does rhyme with the original, but is not an attempt to copy. Great job! 10

Comment by h2:
has some similarities with Jason's image, but not enough to be considered a Déja Vu. You couldn't possibly influence the clouds, but could at least have composed the shot in the same way (person at right third). Also, the most valuable aspect of the original is the water reaching to the lower edge of the image and the resulting reflection of sky and child.

You gotta love it when you shoot something just because you like it, find out it fits a challenge. Then get a top 10 in an expert challenge without expert editing. Congrats!
