Well well. Surprised this did this well considering I was afforded 5 minutes from a 2 year old boy to take this shot. We went for a stroll along the lake close to home and I was fortunate enough to see this opportunity with the log boom set off the shoreline. The "zen" aspect was purely consequential resulting in a well displayed wristwatch and a blurry arm due to a 25 second exposure. I could see the makings of a cool shot and thought the inclusion of a person (me) would help make the image more "DPC".
Thanks for the comments, the praise and the forgiveness of the technical niggles.

After considerable contemplation, I have bumped this extraordinary image up two levels: it is, as of now, one of two tens I have given in the challenge.
Great use of negative space in this photo. I really like the lighting and the gradual color change. If i were to offer criticism it would be two things: 1. Get rid of the watch and 2. Somehow dont show what i guess is the ground and rock under the water. Great idea, and great execution. 7
Great shot, and beautiful symmetry (except the watch ;-) ). I love the disappearing horizon. It looks like three things converging on the central object.
I love the diffuse glow that runs through-out the frame. The lines perfectly define the frame and keep the eye occupied. The only time in all my viewing and voting that I appreciate a top and bottom black frame. Thank you for keeping it very small! Congrats.
