Taken on a tripod with an orange filter and an ND8 filter to reduce the shutter speed to "flatten" the water.
Cloned a small hair out of the corner, adjusted colour balance, curves, hue/sat, usm and sfw.
Post challenge WOW, 6th place is fantastic ... for some reason I've never shot at this park before even though it is only 2 miles from my house .... I think I'll go there more often!

lovely crisp image with a good range of warm colors. i think if you waited a few more minutes, it would have helped with the lens flare (unless you wanted that effect intentionally)
Nice color and good use of flare. A trick to try with so many bare branches is to use 'Despeckle' or 'Salt&Pepper' in your noise reduction choices of the software app you're using.
