Taken in my parent's backyard. Brought back memories of being a kid. All 10 images allowed were used. 3 for HDR for the background and 7 for the boat. NI was used to give the dreamy quality to the grass. I usually hate the way grass sharpens so I like to go for the soft look.

So cute. And what an interesting way to capture the movement of current as well. I'm a little undecided about the soft blur but still, the concept is a good idea.
Beautiful image. I love the softness and the colors. The only thing is that it takes a while for my eye to find the subject. hard to control water flow, but making it so the boat was a little more dramatically part of the photo would have been stronger.
Ooh, is it bring news of the HRD Vincent? This HD stuff (nearly) always has a touch of the virtual reality about it. I'd venture that here it's just a smidgeon over the top - but that's me. Magnificent curve of the Newsworthy's Odessy. . .
I really hope that this image is not overlooked by most of the voters on DPC. I think you have done somethign wonderful here. The idea of a newspaper boat floating down a stream is just awesome. I could have never thought of something like that. I love the processing. I like the mood that it presents as almost a magical little stream where adults drema about their childhood.
Top shelf image here that is worht nothign short of a 10. I hope to see it on the front page and hope the other voters don't look past it to put it there.
