Very dreamy. I want to be there now relaxing in that canoe reading a book that'll slowly put me to sleep. Superb image Juliet.

Love tones and all of the elements in this photo are nearly perfect. A very nice serene and dreamy quality you managed to invoke.

Very very nice color saturation. Wonderfully composed - overall, a beautiful shot.
I'm curious if you know "The Swan" by the composer Camille Saint-Saens.

When voting the feeling of noise reduction came to my mind and put me off a little. But like the best stinky cheeses and things like that in life, this image has grown on me and I am kicking myself for not giving it a higher grade. Glad no one else was as dumb as me ;-)

Juliet, Well done!. Fantastic shot. You only beat me by a full point ;). Barring A miracle in Ansel Adams, it looks like you have taken round 1. Good luck in the rest of the bracket.
