I rather like this photograph with the muted colors and soft overall tone of the scene. The goose taking off was also a nice touch of luck. Luck didn't last though because on the way back to the car I slipped and fell next to a storm drain and the keys fell out of my hand straight down drain into the water below. Oh well, maybe my luck will change again and I will get a 6 on this one.
Hooray, finished with a 6. Replaced most of my keys too.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

The bird really elevates this shot from good to great. Pastels and light are beautifully soft and there is a marvelously peaceful feel to the scene, and I would like it without the bird, but I LOVE it with the bird and its flight path reflection leading my eye into the shot.
Can't wait to see who took this. :-) Drove right past you on my way to river road. Good luck. I like the color tones in this, and nice balance in your choice of composition.
Nice pastels but the photo does not appear to be in focus. Perhaps you were going for a soft feel but I think you can accomplish that with an in-focus photo.
Such a pretty photo - the subtle colour palette (unsure if this is a duotone, or as was) suits the image perfectly, and provides an air of serenity. The duck taking off from the water adds just the right amount of interest in the forground. Lovely.
