Exactly as it came off the camera, just a tiny bit of sharpening to counter the effects of resizing to 640 pixels.
Didn't shoot this for the challenge, it's just one of a number of canal side shots I made over this weekend. The shot is taken at dawn over the lock pond of lock 34 on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. Lock 34 is part of the rather nasty looking 30-lock marathon that makes up the Tardebigge Flight. Glad I was shooting and not narrow-boating..

Oh have you hit a winner here with me, I love canal boating. Have seen views like this on many occasions and fine them so peaceful. The sky is beautiful above and in the reflection. Is that morning 'mist' before the lock. Great shot, '10'
beautiful scene and good exposure, but composition leaves something to be desired... there are no really strong lines or shapes, nothing to draw or grab the eye, just a few splashes of color with nothing to anchor them or bring them to life. nonetheless, being there at the right time to see this and knowing how to expose correctly puts you solidly in the "above average" category...
