More than once, a jet contrail (condensation trail) has wrecked a landscape image at the prime moment of image capture. Yes, it can be photoshopped, but I sure do not appreciate the overhead intrusion of the otherwise pristine view.

I like the thin light green line, which is just strong enough to qualify as "a single line" in my estimation, and helps make the contrail much less distracting.
Oh you lucky! I see my favorite peaks: Hallett & Flattop. . .at one of my favorite lakes: Bierstadt. Sigh. Now I'm going to have to give you a 1 because of my petty jealousy :) (juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding!!!) It's beautiful. Perfect for the challenge, and the moon is a wonderful touch! Perfect 10 for this one.
So much going on here... the shoreline and contrail creating the parallel lines of thirds, the clear reflections, lines of the trees. Wow. And you even got the moon in there. Very nice!
hmmm... the very good Single Line that I immediately saw in this image was the shoreline. However, since the title directs my attention to the contrail, and defines it as bad, I don't see this the same way any longer. May have been better, since advanced editing rules applied, to remove the contrail rather than curse it, and , in general, to avoid directing the viewer to the least attractive element in the image....
nice reflection, I see the moon on top... don't was possible see the moon reflected in the water? should be great. the plants on the foreground seems a bit distracting with the advanced editing you could clone out that plants
Excellent way to shoehorn a fantastic landscape! The reflection is surreal. I like the shoreline. The contrail is quite faint. I'm giving this a 9 because I love the use of the shoreline to split the image, for me that's your single line line ;)
