Wow! Wow! Wow! Thank you all so much for your comments and a ribbon on my first ever submission! I feel a bit of a fraud as it was a fairly lucky shot in someways. I just woke up to go to work, opened the curtains and saw this beautiful scene. Immediately grabbed the camera. Then after the shot I looked on the website to see if there was a challenge that might fit!

Should probably have cloned the lumps on the grass at the left and maybe cropped some of the top off. Otherwise I was pretty pleased with it. Thanks again everyone.

Well deserved to be on the podium, loved this shot, voted 7, but definitely would have given it an 8 in a free study challenge. Congratz!

really nice picture with a great color graduation. since this is advanced editing, the lump on the left side could have been elliminated.

Coming back to comment - I like the hazy look to this. I like the composition and the bird is a nice added bit of interest to the photo.

Really like this shot. If it were mine, I think I would have cropped quite a lot more off the top

Serenity. The beauty of nature. The freedom of flight. The light of the sun. Life-giving water suspended in the mist. Magic.

The kind of picture that makes me sigh! very nice!

Gets a ten from me. Beautiful colors and very soft lighting is appealing. If I was to be nit-picky, i would say that the bird, IMO is distracting and that the picture would be cleaner without it. I still love it.

Great use of sunlight. The color of the sky, the bird and the tree are amazing! I really hope you do well. I think the darker part (at the bottom) could be croped. But it's not interfering much at the other things. Great job!
