Shot during my holidays in Parc-des-Hautes-Gorges in Quebec.
Thx every body for all the lovely comments! Everyone should go to this park! It's one of the loveliest natural scenery that's I've seen in a looooooooong time!

absolutely stunning,the reflections are fabulous,this photo reminds me of the western highlands of Scotland one of my favorite places on earth,inspiring photography.
I feel like nature stopped to allow you to take this perfect photo. The water is perfectly still and your canoe meshes with the angle reflected from the mountains. Amazing shot, well deserved ribbon ;)
I'm not sure I've ever in my life seen a better picture than this (except for pictures of beautiful nude women, of course!). Seriously, this is amazing!
Congrats to you and thanks for the suggestion. I think I'd rather gaze at your photo instead! Excellent symetry, huge dof, water like glass... amazing shot.
What an amazing picture. Hope I'm not called upon to critique this one. It's about as perfect as they come. Congratulations on a well deserved first place.
Beautiful, I saw this as a thumbnail and it looked great already! Bigger it's even better, even without the boat it would be great, but the boat fits in sooo well! Congratulations, well deserved blue!
Ah, the joys of a super wide angle lens. This is absolutely gorgeous. Impressive that the highlights in the interior of the boat didn't get blown out, they just appear bright and inviting. The crisp reflections of the mountains really make this shot for me, they add a perfect frame around the boat. This is going straight into my favorites.
I didn't make it to this one during voting but seeing it as the blue isn't a surprise at all - so many elements make it exceptional -- the symmetry is just brilliant photogrpahy. Congrats.
Fantastic job Yanik! This is truly a magnificent photograph, the details are stunning, composition is excellent, good job.

This is amazing - I love how everything points to the vanishing point in the distance - a perfect shot! I'm sorry I missed it when voting; but congrats on your ribbon!
Congrats on your personal best!!! Didn't get to this one during voting, but this shows how taking care of your backgrounds and composition can make good shot an extraordinary one!
ps. I could swear that your username was kosmikkeeper, now I notice another 'r' in there. Hmm...
I really like the composition. The 'V' created the converging shores makes the image very dynamic. However, there are parts of the clouds that seem blown out.
Probably the best landscape-reflected-in-a-lake shot of the challenge, and what could be a formidable entry in the present Geometry challenge. It's set up well, and it has this mystic feel to it, like there is something to see that just out of sight. Good luck.
Well done! 9. edit to add. the only thing keeping me from bumping is the bottom right. The reflection seems just too dark for what i'm seeing on the top right. Fantastic picture, though
Oh wow. that's amazing! Everything from that striking composition, colors reflection...even that small strip of cloud to the left. I just love the wonderful tones of this image as well. I really hope this does well, so good luck!
Absolutely fantastic shot. Great colors and composition. I feel that the right side is a little bit over saturated in the greens, but other than that this is superb. Hope this ribbons.
Whooaaaa! Stop the presses! This is an awesome shot! Great pov. Great reflections. Superb composition. Beautiful colors. Really nice job on processing. Saturation and levels looks just right! Love the fine use of vanishing point, and I love how you've included the boat as a major element of the comp. This is just a great, great shot, on many levels. Terrific job! Well done, indeed :-)
I love the perspective and intense scale presented here.
Still waters ahead, mirror imaging, what's not to like about this.
Adding to my favorites - well done!
Technical: coloring is great! composition is just awesome, contrast is great too!
Creativity:i love the triangular formation here...
Score: 10 and adding to faves!
I love the symmetry of the shot, but since its advanced editing, I'd nearly go the whole hog and prettify the interior of the boat, cloning out the marks down the middle. Lovely shot.
Is that a Fjord? It's a glacial valley anyway. What a startling view. Super-real rather than surreal. The symbol in the geometry of the colours is what I view one moment, and in the next I view the countryside. My mind oscillates between the two. Strange effect.
very interesting shapes. the canoe is a superb touch. the mist looks great on the mountain on the left but ruins the reflection of that mountain. I am not sure but i might prefer it without the mist and a better reflection. Great job!
Quite a task looking at 683 images. The good news is, this one came out on top and is my predicted winner for a ribbon. I love this and could stare at it for hours, happily floating on still water bathed in gold light. Well done indeed. A perfect 10 :)
This is a really awesome capture. Spot on reflection, spot on symetry between the canoe, the vanishing point and the reflection in the water. Good job (10)
I love how the bow of the canoe fits perfectly in the 'nook' of the reflection. Awesome lines, beautiful scenary...maybe a touch hot in the upper left cloud, but that could also be me (my monitor). Maybe clone out the brown stain in the center of the canoe. Great shot!!
