The fall colors were absolutely gorgeous and the best golden colors moment lasted just one minute. Then the clouds covered the sun. So I have only two good shots with that colors and the other one doesn't have that cool reflection. So I have to be happy. Staying inside the water for a couple of hours has been repaid by this shot.

This was my favorite shot of the challenge--my score was wavering between 7.4 and 7.6 in the last day, I think I was just lucky that the challenge ended when it did. Breathtaking photo and congrats on the red!
From a land far, far away, where fairy tales are real, comes this startling and beautiful image. Let's say that there's a castle on that island in the distance. And let's say this tree standing in the water offers magical fruit for those stalwart enough to obtain it. And so on. Sign me up.
The reflections are glorious and make the scene fulfilling. The reflected cloud is kind of like a spotlight - maybe even too much so. Overall, enchanting and stirring.
