We have this wonderful park here about 100 metres from our front door. Lovely to go for walks in the early evening.
The image was cropped, darkened slightly, sharpened and run through neat-image twice to give the "watercolour-look" of the trees.

This is a beautiful picture, but it feels like it has a greyish cast to it. Have you considered brightening it up a bit in Photoshop. I'd love to see the colors with a bit more intensity.
Great colors, especially the subdued sky, and composition. But, where is the town or village? This ia a great shot, so I am deducting a single point for the challenge miss.
Nice lighting, excellent use of the foreground tree to frame the shot. I just wish the sky were a brilliant blue with lots of puffy clouds, reflected in the water... But you did a wonderful job with what you had to work with. A very peaceful, serene image.
I really like this image. I find it looks like the noise reduction was a bit too much. NOt sure if maybe it was that the shutter was open and the wind was blowing the trees for the blurr or if you used NeatImage or NoiseNinja. I find it has a really arty feel. I like it a lot, but the blur is a bit distracting. - 8
