Taken the same day as my Harsh Environments II entry. I didn't take any of these for a challenge but they just seemed to work out. I used the polarizer and the water was indeed a deep green - something I've only seen a few times.

Woooohooooo! Another great finish for you. Glad that your picture did so well as it is beautiful and rich in detail. May you continue to be inspired by nature!
Gorgeous. Fantastic use of a wide angle lens, and the contrast between the cool blue colors and that thin ribbon of warm colors (along with the light in the building) is just captivating. 9
Hooray for tone mapping! Strong composition and great leading lines into the fantastic sunset and icy water. This should score well for you; wish you luck.
Remarks: I suppose my personal taste for tone-mapped photos (?) is a little restrained by a little too much of a good thing. Here the landscape has survived the technique, not only intact but with good detail and a credible colour store.
A quiet shot, clearly composed and enjoyable.
