I would not have thought this was your shot, should I have voted on it (which I, obviously, haven't). This is a very nice landscape, the colours are rich and saturated, but not over the top - the overall impression is very realistic. The perspective is carefully composed, so the shot has a very nice depth to it, with quite un-boring fore-, middle-, and background.
This is, probably, not a shot I will come back to see, like many landscapes, but unlike some of your other work; but the overall impression is very positive. I think that you would have got a 8 from me for this image. :)
Beautiful greens and blues. I love the composition with the strong foreground elements and the interesting background peeking through the gap in the trees.
If you had processed this so the middle shadows were not so dense (contrast masking, shadow/highlight, or HDRI work) and the swans were more luminous, you'd have close to a winner. Very serene and inviting, the foreground detail is really nice.
