i really like how this came out. so much so, that i am almost afraid to put it up for voting.

i was so afraid when this started in the high 4s. but during the week the great comments and favs kept coming and the scored kept rising. thank you soo soo much for the people who supported this entry.
*a little history*: my maternal grandfather was a workman on the crew that built the dam that made this lake circa. 1950's. my paternal grandfather who raised my sister and i took us fishing here all throughout our younger years. my parents before they died in 1978 took us swimming at this lake(one of my favorite photos is of me on my dad's shoulders in the water when i was a fat baby). in 2000 my paternal grandfather died in this lake of hypothermia, fell through the ice while fishing.
i find myself gravitating to it over and over again and it's one of my favorite places to go think and take photos. i thought about naming this piece "lake of silence" but "footnotes" just seemed right.

I loved this photo and would love if you would share some of your processing details. I'm sorry it wasn't shiny enough for the dp masses to place it higher. :P It obviously reached a lot of us though, so kudos.
Great photo, definately one of my favorites. Like you said, just the comments that people have left should be good enough to know what people think about this picture.
Love it, love it, love it. Even more, I love that it didn't tank! This is an excellent score for this shot in a place where "wow!" and vibrant colors rule. Gives me hope that a) people are still doing really good stuff, and b) at least a few others recognize it. Thank you for creating and submitting it!
Looks like this shot would be great, however it´s only 35kb and it suffers from bad jpg compression, why did you not upload a version closer to the max allowed 200kb for better quality? Anyway have a feeling this shot will look great printed out large up on a wall, has that look to it.
This photo has so much style. I'm giving you a 10 up front. The soft tones complimented by the deep blacks are very striking. The centered composition and the even spacing throughout is very fitting for the scene that you've photographed. Nice image.
Interesting. Very moody, "artisitic". Something looks strange on the far right side. I'm seeing a section that looks to have been stamped with a texture perhaps? I find it distracting. The horizon is causing an optical illusion of being tilted (I'm thinking it's the terrain sloping up). Personally, it's "ok". Don't love it, don't hate it... Good luck in the challenge.
This has a familar feel to it, like I recognize it from somewhere.
Daguerreotype?
(I would love to trade notes about the processing, might have a tips for you.)
