Another one that baffles me. I love how it looks as if it's under water, really adds to the dreaminess.

You my dear were absolutely robbed.

Considering that the challenge was soft focus, I find it particularly interesting to note that some of the comments made seem to suggest that the image is "too soft".

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and each vote has its merit, but I earnestly believed this image would finish in the first page, and most certainly warranted a much better score and placement.

I like it and have added it to my favourites... it truly is a beautiful image.

Could use a little more contrast maybe?

The white haze kind of takes away from this shot
