Beautiful serene colors!!! I really like this shot quite a bit. The softness that you've given it really helps to set the mood.

Even the fence has a "green haze" over it. I may have bumped up the green....think maybe a bit too much though.

Lush scene - and definitely puts me in a very fine state of mind. Lovely - if a touch over saturated.

At first glance of this photo, I don't really see any emotion here. I then checked the title, and Tranquility is definitely not a emotion. A mood? I'll buy that, but the challenge is to capture an emotion.

The photo is very cool, and for that ill give it a 5. It would score higher, but its not on topic.

This is a lovely setting and the softness adds to the feeling.

Lovely shot, greens are a little too saturated and unnatural looking here though. Composition is not quite clear enough for this to be a winning shot.

I like the composition a lot, but find the green to be a bit too saturated.

I'm looking at this challenge as being one that is trying to get a photographer to show a mood *from* his subject, not trying to evoke a mood *for* the subject from the viewer. You've set out to do the latter here. The scene may be tranquil for someone, but I don't seen anyone actually *being* tranquil here.

Lovely capture.

Lovely shot of a a lovely location but I can´t help if it hadn´t seemed even more tranquil if you would have taken a couple of steps forward and skipped that fence. Anyway, good colours and I like the tonal range in this shot.

Very calming photo, Great composition. Would like to see more color in fence to break up all the green.

Although I don’t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don’t leave a comment.
Don’t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.

In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don’t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that’s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.

Vey nice picture, but i do not see any mood in it. Color is very good though.

This one looks like a post card. Possible just a little too much green corrections but not bad at all. Super.

I like this, tranquill for sure. For me, I do not see the expression of it though, just a feeling of it. It seems to have some jaggies on the rail(lower middle left) due to over sharpening plus slight halo. 8

I can almost hear the frogs croaking now! I love your photo, but it seems a tad too green for me. I enjoy the composition of the fence leading into the image.

Nice. Try cropping out the post on the far left and see how that looks.
