Woo-Hoooo! A first ribbon. Thanks for all the nice comments. Much appreciated.
I woke up that morning, looked out the window and saw the fog and new exactly where I wanted to go. I had to wait a bit for the swan though. He was just outside of the frame fixing his feathers. I'm glad I waited.

Beautiful capture. So peaceful and serene. Definitely a calming scene.

a bridge of boats
a swan of water
a water of cloud

Soft & nice. - 7

This IMHO is great !! I can hear the silence and see the silence. The toning is appropriate. Composition top notch. Balance of sharpness & softness is just right. I half expect some big boat to emerge from the fog and break all the silence. Brilliant. 1st 10 so far.

Either peaceful, or the setting for a Stephen King book. :) I like this shot, very soft and easy to look at. Nice composition. Meets the challenge well.

One of the most zen photos in the challenge, IMO. I don't usually notice or really care for borders, but the one rocks. 9
