| I feel like nature stopped to allow you to take this perfect photo. The water is perfectly still and your canoe meshes with the angle reflected from the mountains. Amazing shot, well deserved ribbon ;) |

| Ah, the joys of a super wide angle lens. This is absolutely gorgeous. Impressive that the highlights in the interior of the boat didn't get blown out, they just appear bright and inviting. The crisp reflections of the mountains really make this shot for me, they add a perfect frame around the boat. This is going straight into my favorites. |

| Probably the best landscape-reflected-in-a-lake shot of the challenge, and what could be a formidable entry in the present Geometry challenge. It's set up well, and it has this mystic feel to it, like there is something to see that just out of sight. Good luck. |

| Is that a Fjord? It's a glacial valley anyway. What a startling view. Super-real rather than surreal. The symbol in the geometry of the colours is what I view one moment, and in the next I view the countryside. My mind oscillates between the two. Strange effect. |
