Thanks to everyone for their votes and comments. Yes, I accidentally spelt the title wrong (due to my slight dyslexia), but will be requesting that the Site COuncil can hopefully amend it for me.
Thanks again.
PS. Thanks to Suzie (The Wife) for checking this over for me before posting it this time! lol

Nice loch.
This shot would be above avarage shot without the people and boat in it, But with the people and boat, Its a top shot, Love the reflections and the piecefulness, Good job :)
Nothing quite matches the embarrassment of a typo in the title (I've done it myself - even more embarrassingly, two weeks in a row). Rest assured, it can be corrected later :-)
Other than that, a beautiful capture of a good scene ... Perhaps a bit, er, orthodox for me - a bit too much a standard imae, a stock image perhaps. What I personally think it cries out for is some foreground, to add a greater sense of depth to that recession of hills. Technically however, it's evidently competent.
Seems a tiny bit over-sharpened or over-saturated. However, overall a really lovely image, scene and story. Love the people in teh boat. Really captured somethign here - 9
Ah, the Pentlands again! Fine composition and tones. I particularly like the texture of the water and the sense that it may be raining. Presume title should be Still and Quiet :))
This is an awesome shot. I can 'hear' the quiet. The occasional splash of a fish or bull frog. I can smell the rain that is just over the hill. Great shot. Were you in another boat? On a pier? I'm gonna guess Ireland. Damn... I can smell the fish frying...

Beautiful! Best one I've seen in the challenge so far. The composition is excellent. Your image has a very relaxing feel to it. The only thing that I see that could have made it better is a tad more saturation in the green. Otherwise perfect shot. 9
