this is plain stunning, and it should have been much higher in the scoring IMO

That looks like someplace I'd really like to sit and drink in the beauty.

A gorgeous water/landscape. Excellent composition with a painterly quality. I'm really happy you didn't overcook the colors or present a faux tempestous sky. Perhaps it could use a human presence. A high mark from me.

I'm not a member so I can't vote on member challenges. Instead, I look through the entries for images that make me stop clicking on to the next one. This is one of those images....

A perfectly titled image. Well composed, effective low-key light and a sense of place that conveys serenity. Hope it does well.

Nice use of having the dock enter from a corner. Gives the eye a good anchor point. I love the colors in this.

Nicely balanced shadows, but the sky is too flat for me.

Pacific Northwest? British Columbia? I want to be there so bad! Beautiful.
