Excellent. Other than period issues (that boat would have been COOL if it was an old log raft)... I think the image is very nice. Processing here leaves me feeling as though I'm looking at a very well done painting, and while it doesn't exactly evoke the grandness of the Mississippi, it's certainly coming very close to the hopes I had for this challenge.

Comment Challnege: While not a literal interpretation, I believe this definitely captures the tone of Twain's book. A lazy day, a lazy river, golden sun and blue water, a little hamlet on the far shore. This has nice lines leading the eye into the picture.

6...I see the connection for sure. A nice and quiet sort of image. The color seems off to me...on my screens it has a purplish tint and I'm not sure if it was intentional or not.

I like the shoreline and the water. If you could have brought out more in the sky I think it would have been better. maybe also clone out the signs and whatever is floating in the water.

Gave it a 5

Nicely composed, well balanced, good autumn colors. Would have been nice to have a person in the frame. For me is a 5

Competent photo of water and reeds, but it says nothing to me. 2

Captures the mood of the lazy autumn day, although the outboard motor becomes an anachronism when considering Huck Finn. Composition and tones look good and I love the reflected mast leading in. 6

The gentle waves on the water, the warm autumn sun at the waters edge, the river itself all reflect the story well. 6

The title fits well.

Image definitely follows the theme for the book ... what I would give to be on that boat floating gently away down the river! (critique: wish you had cloned out the signposts)

I can't decide whats better, the beautiful warm light, or the ins and outs, zig-zags and ripples...

Beautiful scene. Reminds me of a 'Bear Music' masterpiece!

I feel a little tilt to the left ;) Certainly looks lazy out there, so it fits with your novel. Just a bit flat for me though, I do like those colours all the same. 5.
